After Action Report
The Trail Blazers rolled past the Jazz 120-85. The Trail Blazers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Trail Blazers' balanced five covered every spot on the floor; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Trail Blazers. Early returns: the Trail Blazers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
