After Action Report

The Trail Blazers demolished the Kings 116-83. The Trail Blazers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Trail Blazers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Trail Blazers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. Trail Blazers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
