After Action Report
The Kings squeaked past the Trail Blazers 94-93. The Trail Blazers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Kings. Kings' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Trail Blazers came in with something to prove after a loss. The Kings bench chemistry carried them. Kings' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
