After Action Report
The Kings blew the doors off the Trail Blazers 131-105. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Kings cashed in. The Kings came in with something to prove after a loss; the Kings pushed the pace until the other side broke. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Kings · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Trail Blazers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Trail Blazers · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
