After Action Report
In Portland, the Trail Blazers handled the Kings 116-100. Every possession went the Trail Blazers way. The Trail Blazers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Trail Blazers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. Trail Blazers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
