After Action Report
The Trail Blazers outlasted the Kings 98-92. The Trail Blazers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Kings couldn't shake the cold spell. The Trail Blazers bench chemistry carried them. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Kings · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
