After Action Report
The Trail Blazers took care of the Knicks 112-97. Trail Blazers' offense had its way with the Knicks. Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Trail Blazers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Trail Blazers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
