After Action Report

In Sacramento, the Kings squeaked past the Pistons 102-100. The Pistons couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Kings. The Kings answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Kings' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. The Kings rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
