After Action Report
The Kings rolled past the Trail Blazers 119-97. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Kings cashed in. Kings' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Trail Blazers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. Whispers of a Trail Blazers locker-room rift aren't helping. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Kings · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
