After Action Report
The Trail Blazers demolished the Kings 127-86. The Kings had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Trail Blazers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. Kings' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Trail Blazers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Kings · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
- Kings · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
