After Action Report

The Trail Blazers ran roughshod over the Kings 115-92. Trail Blazers' scorers couldn't be contained. The Trail Blazers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; shots just aren't falling for the Kings lately. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Kings rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It broke open after the break.
