After Action Report
The Kings snuck past the Trail Blazers 100-97. Ugly basketball, but the Kings did just enough. The Kings carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Kings' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Kings · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Trail Blazers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
