After Action Report
The Trail Blazers squeaked past the Kings 99-96. Trail Blazers' offense had its way with the Kings. Shots just aren't falling for the Trail Blazers lately; Trail Blazers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Kings · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Kings · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Trail Blazers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
