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.
