After Action Report

In Sacramento, the Kings outlasted the Pistons 115-97. Kings' scorers couldn't be contained. Kings' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Kings pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. Pistons' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Kings · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
