After Action Report
The Trail Blazers demolished the SuperSonics 117-89. Every possession went the Trail Blazers way. Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; SuperSonics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Trail Blazers bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's SuperSonics utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
