After Action Report
The Kings snuck past the Trail Blazers 121-119 in overtime. The Kings got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Kings played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Kings bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Trail Blazers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger.
What tipped it
- Kings · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Trail Blazers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
