After Action Report
The Trail Blazers buried the Magic 108-74. The Magic couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Trail Blazers. Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Trail Blazers. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. Magic's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Trail Blazers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
