After Action Report
The Celtics buried the Trail Blazers 108-86. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Trail Blazers are in a full-on tailspin. Whispers of a Trail Blazers locker-room rift aren't helping. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
