After Action Report
The Kings rolled past the Trail Blazers 123-98. The Trail Blazers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Kings' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Kings. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. Trail Blazers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It broke open after the break.
