In Portland, the Trail Blazers buried the Hornets 124-104. Trail Blazers torched the Hornets on the offensive end. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Trail Blazers; the Trail Blazers bent the defense out of shape from deep. Trail Blazers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
