After Action Report
The Trail Blazers ran roughshod over the Heat 151-79. Trail Blazers' scorers couldn't be contained. Heat's veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. Heat's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
