After Action Report
In Portland, the Trail Blazers ran roughshod over the Jazz 135-85. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Trail Blazers cashed in. Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Trail Blazers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. Never a doubt in this one.
