In a track meet, the Trail Blazers blew the doors off the 76ers 120-90. Trail Blazers controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Trail Blazers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; 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.
