After Action Report

The Trail Blazers handled the Hornets 123-111. The Trail Blazers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Shots just aren't falling for the Trail Blazers lately; Hornets' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Hornets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger.

What tipped it

  • Trail Blazers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Hornets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
