After Action Report
The Trail Blazers ran roughshod over the Kings 118-96. The Trail Blazers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Trail Blazers' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Kings played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Kings rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
