After Action Report
The Kings squeaked past the Trail Blazers 101-98. Ugly basketball, but the Kings did just enough. Kings' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Trail Blazers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Kings · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Trail Blazers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
