After Action Report
The Trail Blazers ran roughshod over the Hornets 106-85. Trail Blazers' offense had its way with the Hornets. Fresh off a statement win, the Trail Blazers stayed locked in; the Hornets couldn't shake the cold spell. The Hornets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Hornets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
