After Action Report
The Trail Blazers rolled past the Wizards 127-106. The tempo dragged the Wizards into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Trail Blazers ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Trail Blazers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. Wizards' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
