After Action Report
In Portland, the Trail Blazers rolled past the Kings 119-93. The Kings had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Trail Blazers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Trail Blazers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Kings rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
