The Blazers won this game on the boards. They grabbed 19 offensive rebounds on the night, outrebounding the Kings overall 49-34. The Blazers also took advantage of the Kings' 19 turnovers by running 24 points off those miscues. And the Blazers outscored the decimated Kings' bench 25-17.

The Kings played good defense against the Blazers' helfcourt game, holding Portland to 43% overall shooting. But they kept getting mixed up on switches, leaving too many open Blazers for three. CJ McCollum also looked generally unstoppable; the Kings simply didn't have the perimeter defenders necessary to slow down his clever game off the dribble.
