After Action Report
The Kings held off the Trail Blazers 114-105. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Kings cashed in. Shots just aren't falling for the Kings lately; Kings' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes.
What tipped it
- Kings · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Trail Blazers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Trail Blazers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
