After Action Report
In Orlando, the Kings outlasted the Magic 108-101. The tempo dragged the Magic into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Kings couldn't shake the cold spell; Kings' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Early returns: the Kings per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
