After Action Report

The Kings survived the Trail Blazers 118-116. The Kings got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Kings ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; the Kings bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Kings bench chemistry carried them. Kings' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
