After Action Report

The Trail Blazers outlasted the Kings 108-102. Trail Blazers torched the Kings on the offensive end. Shots just aren't falling for the Kings lately; Kings' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Trail Blazers bench chemistry carried them. Trail Blazers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Kings · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
