After Action Report
In Sacramento, the Trail Blazers snuck past the Kings 117-114. Trail Blazers' scorers couldn't be contained. The Trail Blazers came in with something to prove after a loss; the Kings are in a full-on tailspin. Whispers of a Kings locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Kings · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Trail Blazers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
