After Action Report
The Kings buried the Trail Blazers 123-101. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Kings cashed in. Kings' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; second-chance points piled up for the Trail Blazers. The Trail Blazers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Trail Blazers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
