After Action Report
The Trail Blazers outlasted the Kings 102-92. The Trail Blazers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Trail Blazers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; the Kings bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Kings looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Kings rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
