Preview and Game Thread: Kings vs. Trail Blazers

The Sacramento Kings will play their second preseason game in a row on the road against the Portland Trail Blazers.

Portland defeated Sacramento 127-102 in the opener on Friday. Buddy Hield was a bright spot for the Kings in the loss, dropping 23 points in 23 minutes and went five-of-11 from the 3-point line.

Head coach Luke Walton’s new offensive system was on display with Sacramento getting out and running when it could, but the team’s defense struggled to slow down Portland. The Trail Blazers had 41 points in the first quarter and took advantage of the Kings’ sloppy transition defense.
