After Action Report

The Kings pulled away from the Clippers 132-114. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Kings cashed in. The Kings came in with something to prove after a loss; the Kings bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Kings bench chemistry carried them. Kings' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Clippers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Kings · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
