After Action Report
The Kings handled the Trail Blazers 105-89. The Trail Blazers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Kings. The Kings carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Kings' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Trail Blazers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Kings · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Trail Blazers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
