After Action Report

The Trail Blazers rolled past the Grizzlies 136-110. Trail Blazers' offense had its way with the Grizzlies. Fresh off a statement win, the Trail Blazers stayed locked in; the Trail Blazers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Grizzlies looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Grizzlies' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Trail Blazers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Grizzlies · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Grizzlies · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
