After Action Report

In Los Angeles, the Kings downed the Clippers 108-96. Kings controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. 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 Clippers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
