After Action Report
The Trail Blazers demolished the Kings 113-84. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Trail Blazers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Trail Blazers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. Never a doubt in this one.
