After Action Report
The Kings outlasted the Pistons 102-92. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Kings owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Kings played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Pistons looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Pistons utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.
