After Action Report

In Portland, the Trail Blazers demolished the SuperSonics 115-95. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Trail Blazers couldn't shake the cold spell; Trail Blazers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The SuperSonics looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The SuperSonics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

What tipped it

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