After Action Report

The Trail Blazers upended the Cavaliers 104-102. Every possession went the Trail Blazers way. Shots just aren't falling for the Trail Blazers lately; Cavaliers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Cavaliers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.

What tipped it

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