After Action Report
The Trail Blazers pulled away from the SuperSonics 111-92. Ugly basketball, but the Trail Blazers did just enough. The Trail Blazers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Trail Blazers ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. SuperSonics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
