The Sacramento Kings (1 - 1) defeated the Portland Trail Blazers (1 - 1) 103 - 94 on Friday. Rudy Gay scored a game - high 40 points in 36 minutes to lead the way for the Kings. New point guard Darren Collison followed up his impressive season debut with another great performance Friday, finishing with 17 points, eight rebounds, and eight assists in 38 minutes. The signing of Ramon Sessions before the start of training camp put the depth of Collison's role in question, but if the first two games of the season are any indication, Collison should be part of the Kings' core in tune with DeMarcus Cousins and Gay. Damian Lillard rebounded well from a subpar opener and finised with 20 points and seven rebounds in 35 minutes. LaMarcus Aldridge continued to show off his new three - point shot, coverting one 1 - of - 3 attempts from beyond the arc and finishing with 22 points in 38 minutes. Thomas Robinson has played just two minutes total this season and was not used at all in the Blazers' second game, a dubious development following the team's decision not to pickup Robinson's 2014 - 15 option on his contract earlier this week. The Trail Blazers' next game is at home Sunday against the Golden State Warriors. The Kings' next game is on the road Sunday against the Los Angeles Clippers.
