After Action Report

In Portland, the Kings squeaked past the Trail Blazers 109-104. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Kings cashed in. Kings' outside barrage was a constant threat; Trail Blazers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition.

What tipped it

  • Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
