After Action Report

The Trail Blazers ran roughshod over the Kings 132-109. The Trail Blazers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Trail Blazers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Kings' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Trail Blazers bench chemistry carried them. Trail Blazers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
