After Action Report
In Sacramento, the Heat survived the Kings 96-95. Ugly basketball, but the Heat did just enough. The Heat are in a full-on tailspin; Heat's defenders refused to give up clean looks. Whispers of a Kings locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Kings utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it

- Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Heat · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
