After Action Report
The Trail Blazers rolled past the Kings 102-81. Trail Blazers' scorers couldn't be contained. The Kings couldn't shake the cold spell; the Kings bent the defense out of shape from deep. Whispers of a Kings locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Kings utilization choices clashed with the team identity. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Kings · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
