In the first of a back-to-back, the Portland Trail Blazers lost 86-82 to the Sacramento Kings. If we thought the Brooklyn Nets loss hurt, the team took that as a challenge.
The Kings are 4-11 after Friday’s win, fourth worst in the league. At least the Nets are close to a playoff spot in the East with six wins.
Tonight, Portland gets a chance for revenge at home against Sacramento again. Maybe the hometown support is what they need to beat a tanking team.
Starting lineup:
Like predicted, Terry Stotts left Caleb Swanigan in the starting lineup Friday.
