After Action Report
The Kings snuck past the Trail Blazers 99-94. Ugly basketball, but the Kings did just enough. The Kings bent the defense out of shape from deep; Trail Blazers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Early returns: the Kings per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
