After Action Report
In Portland, the Trail Blazers handled the Magic 125-106. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Trail Blazers cashed in. Trail Blazers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; Magic's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. Magic's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Magic · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
