After Action Report

The Kings outlasted the Warriors 109-100. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Kings came in with something to prove after a loss; Kings' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Warriors looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Kings' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Kings · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Warriors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
