After Action Report

The Kings upended the Spurs 106-104. Every possession went the Kings way. The Kings came in with something to prove after a loss; Kings' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Spurs' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.

What tipped it

  • Kings · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Spurs · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Spurs · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
