After Action Report
The Trail Blazers fended off the Kings 112-106. The Kings had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Kings answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Kings' outside barrage was a constant threat. Tonight's Kings utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Kings · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
