After Action Report
The Trail Blazers outlasted the Cavaliers 101-92. The Cavaliers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Trail Blazers. Trail Blazers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; fresh off a statement win, the Trail Blazers stayed locked in. The Cavaliers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Trail Blazers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Cavaliers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
