After Action Report
The Kings squeaked past the Trail Blazers 103-100. The Kings got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Kings' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Kings' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes.
What tipped it
- Kings · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Trail Blazers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
