After Action Report
In New Jersey, the Kings squeaked past the Nets 114-113. The tempo dragged the Nets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Kings' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Nets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Kings bench chemistry carried them. Kings' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
