After Action Report

The Kings outlasted the Trail Blazers 124-115. Kings' offense had its way with the Trail Blazers. Kings' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Kings answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Kings · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Kings · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Trail Blazers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
