After Action Report
The Trail Blazers ran roughshod over the Bucks 124-97. The breakneck pace played right into Trail Blazers' hands. The Trail Blazers ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Trail Blazers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Trail Blazers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
