After Action Report
The Kings outlasted the Trail Blazers 122-109. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Kings cashed in. Kings' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Kings' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Kings bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Kings per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Kings · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
