After Action Report

The Trail Blazers fended off the Kings 121-112. The Kings had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Trail Blazers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Trail Blazers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Whispers of a Kings locker-room rift aren't helping.

What tipped it

  • Kings · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Trail Blazers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
