After Action Report
In a track meet, the Trail Blazers snuck past the Kings 108-107. The breakneck pace played right into Trail Blazers' hands. Second-chance points piled up for the Trail Blazers; the Kings played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Trail Blazers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
