After Action Report
The Nets blew the doors off the Trail Blazers 131-93. Nets' scorers couldn't be contained. Second-chance points piled up for the Nets; the Nets bent the defense out of shape from deep. Whispers of a Trail Blazers locker-room rift aren't helping. The Trail Blazers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
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.
- Nets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
