After Action Report

The Kings squeaked past the Jazz 104-102. The breakneck pace played right into Kings' hands. Fresh off a statement win, the Kings stayed locked in; Kings' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Kings' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Kings · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Jazz · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
