After Action Report

The Trail Blazers outlasted the Knicks 104-98. Every possession went the Trail Blazers way. Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Knicks steamroller is in full effect right now. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. Trail Blazers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • 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.
  • Knicks · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
