After Action Report
The Trail Blazers snuck past the Kings 106-105. The Kings couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Trail Blazers. Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Trail Blazers steamroller is in full effect right now. 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. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Trail Blazers · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
