After Action Report
The Kings squeaked past the Trail Blazers 107-103. The breakneck pace played right into Kings' hands. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Kings; the Kings pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Kings bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
