After Action Report
In Portland, the Trail Blazers rolled past the Jazz 127-93. Trail Blazers' scorers couldn't be contained. Second-chance points piled up for the Trail Blazers; the Trail Blazers steamroller is in full effect right now. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Jazz rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
