After Action Report

In Philadelphia, the Trail Blazers buried the 76ers 144-94. Trail Blazers' offense had its way with the 76ers. Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Trail Blazers. The Trail Blazers bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's 76ers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It was over by halftime.

  • Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Trail Blazers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
