After Action Report

The Trail Blazers handled the Kings 106-93. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Trail Blazers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Trail Blazers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. Survive-and-advance type win.
