After Action Report
In a track meet, the Trail Blazers blew the doors off the Cavaliers 130-101. The breakneck pace played right into Trail Blazers' hands. The Trail Blazers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Trail Blazers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Early returns: the Trail Blazers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Cavaliers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
