After Action Report
The Trail Blazers demolished the Magic 119-92. Trail Blazers' scorers couldn't be contained. The Trail Blazers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Trail Blazers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Trail Blazers bench chemistry carried them. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Magic · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Trail Blazers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
