After Action Report
In Sacramento, the Kings survived the Clippers 132-130. Kings controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Kings answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Kings' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Kings rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
