After Action Report
The Trail Blazers pulled away from the Hornets 113-102. The Hornets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Trail Blazers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Trail Blazers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Hornets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Trail Blazers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
