After Action Report
The Kings ran roughshod over the Trail Blazers 117-89. The Kings got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Kings' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Kings' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Trail Blazers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Kings · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Trail Blazers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
