After Action Report
The Trail Blazers fended off the Hornets 115-107. The better team simply showed up tonight. 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. The Trail Blazers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
