After Action Report
The Trail Blazers pulled away from the Kings 115-101. The tempo dragged the Kings into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Trail Blazers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Kings couldn't shake the cold spell. The Kings looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Survive-and-advance type win.

- Kings · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
