The Trail Blazers rolled past the Kings 120-96. The Kings had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the Trail Blazers; Kings' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Trail Blazers bench chemistry carried them. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
