After Action Report

The Trail Blazers handled the Kings 106-91. Ugly basketball, but the Trail Blazers did just enough. Trail Blazers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Kings' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. Trail Blazers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
