After Action Report

The Trail Blazers ran roughshod over the Suns 113-92. Every possession went the Trail Blazers way. Trail Blazers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; fresh off a statement win, the Trail Blazers stayed locked in. The Trail Blazers bench chemistry carried them. Suns' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It broke open after the break.
