After Action Report
The Hornets edged the Trail Blazers 105-97. Hornets' offense had its way with the Trail Blazers. The Trail Blazers pushed the pace until the other side broke. Whispers of a Trail Blazers locker-room rift aren't helping. Trail Blazers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
