After Action Report
The Trail Blazers took care of the Nets 107-91. Ugly basketball, but the Trail Blazers did just enough. The Trail Blazers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Trail Blazers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
