After Action Report
The Trail Blazers demolished the Grizzlies 133-108. 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. Garbage time started early.
