After Action Report
In Sacramento, the Kings buried the Trail Blazers 95-67. Kings torched the Trail Blazers on the offensive end. The Kings came in with something to prove after a loss; the Kings pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Trail Blazers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Trail Blazers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Kings · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
