After Action Report
The Trail Blazers outlasted the Kings 137-128. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Trail Blazers cashed in. The Trail Blazers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Trail Blazers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Tonight's Kings utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
