After Action Report
The Trail Blazers downed the Bobcats 112-98. The Bobcats couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Trail Blazers. The Trail Blazers ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Trail Blazers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Trail Blazers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
