After Action Report
In Sacramento, the Clippers survived the Kings 102-98. Ugly basketball, but the Clippers did just enough. The Clippers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Clippers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Whispers of a Kings locker-room rift aren't helping. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Kings · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Clippers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Clippers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
