After Action Report
In Portland, the Trail Blazers ran roughshod over the Nets 135-91. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Trail Blazers cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Trail Blazers; the Nets couldn't shake the cold spell. The Nets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Nets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Nets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
