After Action Report

The Kings handled the Clippers 114-95. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Kings cashed in. Kings' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; Clippers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Kings' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Clippers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Clippers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
