After Action Report

The Kings blew the doors off the Trail Blazers 131-105. Kings' offense had its way with the Trail Blazers. The Kings answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Trail Blazers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. Kings' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
