The Kings squeaked past the Nets 118-114. Kings torched the Nets on the offensive end. The Kings played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Kings' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Kings bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Kings per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
