After Action Report

In Sacramento, the Wizards survived the Kings 98-97. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Wizards' outside barrage was a constant threat; Kings' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Kings · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Kings · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
