After Action Report

The Kings fended off the Grizzlies 83-76. Kings' offense had its way with the Grizzlies. The Kings answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Kings' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Grizzlies' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Kings · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Grizzlies · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
