After Action Report
The Kings outlasted the Magic 106-97. Ugly basketball, but the Kings did just enough. Kings' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Kings owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. The Magic rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
