After Action Report
The Kings edged the Trail Blazers 101-94. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Kings couldn't shake the cold spell; Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Trail Blazers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Kings · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
