After Action Report
The Trail Blazers demolished the Cavaliers 129-98. The Trail Blazers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Second-chance points piled up for the Trail Blazers; the Trail Blazers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Cavaliers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
