After Action Report
The Kings blew the doors off the Trail Blazers 127-99. The Kings got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Kings' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; Trail Blazers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Trail Blazers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Trail Blazers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
