After Action Report

In Sacramento, the Trail Blazers pulled away from the Kings 123-108. Trail Blazers' offense had its way with the Kings. Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Trail Blazers. The Trail Blazers bench chemistry carried them. Kings' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
