The Portland Trailblazers had quite a battle last night in Sacramento to close a mini 3-game road trip. In the end, the Kings grind out a 126-121 win over Portland in a heated game.

Fined, ejected in the final minute, then retrieved from the locker room after a Technical Foul call was rescinded, DeMarcus Cousins capped a wild day with his dominant performance on the court for the Kings with 55 points. That came hours after he was fined by the Kings for his profanity-laced tirade against a Sacramento reporter last week.

CJ McCollom led Portland with 36 and Mason Plumlee had a career high 27 points. The Blazers play another back-to-backer hosting the Dallas Mavericks tonight. We have the tipoff and broadcast with Brian Wheeler coming your way on KBND at 7pm.
