After Action Report
The Warriors blew the doors off the Trail Blazers 114-88. The Trail Blazers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Warriors played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Trail Blazers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Whispers of a Trail Blazers locker-room rift aren't helping. Trail Blazers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Warriors · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
