After Action Report

The Trail Blazers handled the Kings 111-95. Trail Blazers torched the Kings on the offensive end. Trail Blazers' outside barrage was a constant threat; the Kings owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. Trail Blazers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Kings · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
