After Action Report
The Trail Blazers squeaked past the Kings 103-102. The Kings couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Trail Blazers. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Trail Blazers; the Trail Blazers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
