Fourth upset win in the West!Simmons 29 4, Fox 43 8, Lakers old will be lost
On the 27th Beijing time, Monk completely lost his form in the matchup with the Kings, and finally Portland defeated the Kings 130-113, which caused the results of the Kings, which were originally ranked fourth, to decline.
Previously, Kenny played well and is currently in 4th place in the West, but with the recent problems with the Mavericks and Clippers, Kenny must continue to win to solidify their position. On Portland's side, despite having stars like Grant and Brogdon, their results are not ideal, and they are now 7-21, ranking 14th.
In the first half, the Kings had started 10-2, but Portland turned the game on a 9-0 run with Grant. Although they were tied by the Kings, in the second quarter, Portland played well, at one point extending the margin to 19 points. Fox struggled to score, and after halftime, the Kings still led by seven points.
In the second half, the two sides remained evenly matched, and although Dalglish kept trying to close the gap, their attacks were always counter-attacked. In the fourth quarter, the Trail Blazers hit another three-pointer to keep the Kings from catching up and eventually losing the game.
Portland's win was due to the team's unity, and while Simmons played well, Reese, Henderson, and Walker all contributed immensely to the team on the bench. Simmons had 29 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, Reece had 25 points and 9 rebounds, Henderson had 17 points and Walker Jr. had 17 points.
While Dalglish was a standout player with Fox and Sabonis, the poor performance of the rest of the squad and the flaws in the defence made it difficult for them to hold on to the win. Fox had 43 points, eight rebounds and four assists, while Sabonis had 34, 12 and five assists.
In previous difficult times, Monk could often step up, but this time, he completely lost his ability and made a three-pointer in the fourth quarter. In the end, the Kings lost, dropping from fourth to sixth.
