After Action Report

In Philadelphia, the Trail Blazers buried the 76ers 120-99. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Trail Blazers cashed in. Fresh off a statement win, the Trail Blazers stayed locked in; Trail Blazers' outside barrage was a constant threat. Trail Blazers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • 76ers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • 76ers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • 76ers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Trail Blazers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
