After Action Report
The Trail Blazers demolished the Jazz 124-94. Trail Blazers' offense had its way with the Jazz. The Trail Blazers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Trail Blazers steamroller is in full effect right now. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. Jazz's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
