After Action Report
The Kings snuck past the Raptors 98-95. The Raptors couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Kings. Shots just aren't falling for the Kings lately; the Raptors played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. Whispers of a Raptors locker-room rift aren't helping. The Kings rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Raptors · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Kings · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
