After Action Report
The Kings snuck past the Cavaliers 127-123. The breakneck pace played right into Kings' hands. The Kings played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Kings pushed the pace until the other side broke. Kings' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Kings · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Cavaliers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Cavaliers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
