After Action Report
The 76ers fended off the Trail Blazers 88-80. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Trail Blazers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Trail Blazers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. Style points be damned.
What tipped it

- Trail Blazers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Trail Blazers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
