After Action Report
The Trail Blazers buried the Heat 134-88. Trail Blazers' offense had its way with the Heat. The Trail Blazers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Trail Blazers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Heat looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Heat's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
