After Action Report
The Trail Blazers handled the Bobcats 110-95. Every possession went the Trail Blazers way. The Trail Blazers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Trail Blazers looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. Bobcats' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
