After Action Report
The Trail Blazers edged the Kings 97-88. The Trail Blazers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Kings answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Kings' outside barrage was a constant threat. Kings' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.
