After Action Report
In Portland, the Kings outlasted the Trail Blazers 105-97. Ugly basketball, but the Kings did just enough. Kings' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Kings carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Kings bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
