After Action Report

In Portland, the Trail Blazers pulled away from the Kings 91-74. Trail Blazers' offense had its way with the Kings. The Trail Blazers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Trail Blazers' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Kings looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Kings' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Trail Blazers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
