After Action Report
The Trail Blazers demolished the Raptors 128-69. The Trail Blazers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Second-chance points piled up for the Trail Blazers; the Raptors pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Raptors looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Trail Blazers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
