After Action Report
In Portland, the 76ers pulled away from the Trail Blazers 122-112. The tempo dragged the Trail Blazers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The 76ers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the 76ers bent the defense out of shape from deep. Whispers of a Trail Blazers locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- 76ers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
