After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Hornets survived the Trail Blazers 99-94. Ugly basketball, but the Hornets did just enough. Hornets' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Trail Blazers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Trail Blazers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
