After Action Report
The Kings squeaked past the Nuggets 85-80. The Kings won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Kings' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Kings' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Kings · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Nuggets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
