After Action Report

The Kings survived the Warriors 108-105. The tempo dragged the Warriors into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Kings carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; the Kings pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Kings bench chemistry carried them. The Warriors rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Warriors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Kings · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
