After Action Report
In a track meet, the Warriors demolished the Trail Blazers 132-111. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Warriors cashed in. The Warriors carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Warriors' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Trail Blazers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
