After Action Report
The Trail Blazers handled the Kings 107-89. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Trail Blazers are in a full-on tailspin; Trail Blazers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Whispers of a Kings locker-room rift aren't helping. Kings' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
