After Action Report

The Trail Blazers blew the doors off the Kings 129-98. The Kings had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Kings. The Trail Blazers bench chemistry carried them. It broke open after the break.

What tipped it

  • Kings · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
