The Portland Trail Blazers secured their 10th victory in 11 games, defeating the Sacramento Kings in a closely contested match. The Kings struggled offensively throughout the game, with several key players experiencing poor shooting nights. DeMar DeRozan's 22 points weren't enough to overcome the Blazers' strong interior defense and Anfernee Simons' impressive performance, who led the Blazers with 30 points.
The Blazers are locked in, with tonight being their 10th win in 11 tries. They made life miserable for the Kings all night as Sacramento struggled to get a rhythm going at all.
DeMar DeRozan had 22 points on 56.3% shooting, but his fourth-quarter heroics weren't enough to carry the Kings to victory tonight. The good news is that the Kings looked better than they did against the Orlando Magic last night. They played hard all game long and put up a battle against a surging Blazers squad. And Jonas Valančiūnas had a nice debut. Like everyone else, he struggled with his efficiency but finished with 6 points and 5 rebounds in his first game with the team.
