After Action Report
In Portland, the Trail Blazers pulled away from the Suns 131-115. The Trail Blazers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Trail Blazers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; fresh off a statement win, the Trail Blazers stayed locked in. Trail Blazers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Trail Blazers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Suns · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Suns · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
