After Action Report
The Kings squeaked past the Trail Blazers 85-81. Ugly basketball, but the Kings did just enough. Second-chance points piled up for the Kings; Kings' outside barrage was a constant threat. Whispers of a Trail Blazers locker-room rift aren't helping. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Kings · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
