After Action Report
In Portland, the Kings snuck past the Trail Blazers 125-120. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Kings cashed in. Kings' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Kings carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Kings bench chemistry carried them. Kings' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Kings · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Kings · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
