After Action Report
The Trail Blazers fended off the Kings 106-100. Trail Blazers' offense had its way with the Kings. The Trail Blazers couldn't shake the cold spell; Trail Blazers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Whispers of a Kings locker-room rift aren't helping. Kings' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Trail Blazers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
