After Action Report
In Portland, the Cavaliers demolished the Trail Blazers 112-84. The Cavaliers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Cavaliers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Cavaliers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Whispers of a Trail Blazers locker-room rift aren't helping. Cavaliers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Cavaliers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
