After Action Report
The Cavaliers rolled past the Trail Blazers 104-84. The Trail Blazers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Cavaliers. Cavaliers' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Trail Blazers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Trail Blazers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
