Blazers Approach Kings Game Like Stuffy Nose, Blow It

The Portland Trail Blazers gave the Sacramento Kings on Thursday night exactly the kind of effort pundits and faithful fans feared would typify their season. Like a clueless dad at the grocery store the Blazers were listless, appeared confused, and covered a lot of ground with absolutely zero effect. They might as well have hung a sign saying, “Nobody will cook here tonight.” And indeed, nobody did. Except for Kings guard Zach LaVine, who had 20 points in the first half on his way to a game-high 29. Domantas Sabonis added 22 points and 19 rebounds. Together they brought Sacramento a convincing win, 128-107.
