After Action Report
The Kings outlasted the Clippers 95-82. The Clippers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Kings. Kings' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Clippers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Clippers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Kings' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Clippers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
