After Action Report

The Kings stunned the Spurs 117-104. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Kings cashed in. The Kings came in with something to prove after a loss; Kings' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Tonight's Spurs utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
