After Action Report

The Kings took care of the Trail Blazers 124-111. Kings' scorers couldn't be contained. The Kings played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Trail Blazers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. The Kings rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
