After Action Report
The Kings buried the Pistons 113-84. Every possession went the Kings way. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Kings; the Pistons owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. Kings' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
