After Action Report
The Trail Blazers demolished the Kings 127-96. Trail Blazers torched the Kings on the offensive end. Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Trail Blazers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Kings rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
