The Trail Blazers handled the Kings 98-87. The Kings couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Trail Blazers. Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Trail Blazers came in with something to prove after a loss. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Kings · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Trail Blazers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
