After Action Report
The Trail Blazers demolished the Raptors 130-90. Trail Blazers' scorers couldn't be contained. The Trail Blazers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Trail Blazers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Raptors looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Early returns: the Trail Blazers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.

- Raptors · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
