Biggest upset today!

Kings fall to the struggling Trail Blazers. Final score 113-130, it was a blowout win by the Trail Blazers, and I'm one of the victims who bet on the Kings thinking they'll get the win and cover the high spread.

Looks like the Kings are tired of playing on the road, LOL... Losing to the Blazers is embarassing, especially that they are building their team to be a playoff team.
Unfortunately, the same for me, I confess that I was surprised with the defeat of Sacramento
Sabonis and Fox had an excellent performance, in fact they carried the team on their shoulders, on the other hand, the Blazers had an interesting performance because most of the players, including the reserves, scored relatively well in that game.

I believe that a crucial point that also favored the Kings' defeat was the 3-point shots, they only had 23.8%, while the Blazzers had 40.00%, which in my point of view was a high percentage of success.

That's probably it, and you know sometimes even how good a team is, they also have their off night, and it so happened that Sacramento Kings had an off night and Blazers had taken advantage on that. 40% shooting, that's vey high, and it's not surprising at all that the Kings opponnents could shoot at a high percentage since they aren't really a good defensive team, what's lacking on them here is their offense and that's the reason why they loss.

And it just shows that the game is really unpredictable, even in the Pistons vs Nets, I thought that Detroit might pull an upset and stop their losing streak because they took a good lead in the first quarter. But the Nets doesn't want to be the team that will give them their win so Cam and company come back blazing in the next 3 quarters.

I'm thinking the same for the Kings though, they can easily go back and erase a double digit lead in the 3rd and then take it in the 4th quarter.

But Portland shooting from the outside really kills that idea that the Kings can make a huge comeback, just like they did in the past.
