After Action Report

The Kings held off the Warriors 116-110. The better team simply showed up tonight. Kings' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Kings ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Kings bench chemistry carried them. Kings' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
