After Action Report
The Trail Blazers took care of the SuperSonics 106-95. Ugly basketball, but the Trail Blazers did just enough. Fresh off a statement win, the Trail Blazers stayed locked in; Trail Blazers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. Trail Blazers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- 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.
- SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
