After Action Report

In Sacramento, the Kings outlasted the Grizzlies 106-87. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Kings came in with something to prove after a loss; Kings' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
