After Action Report
The Trail Blazers outlasted the Hornets 110-99. Trail Blazers' scorers couldn't be contained. Fresh off a statement win, the Trail Blazers stayed locked in; the Hornets bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Trail Blazers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
