After Action Report
In Sacramento, the Kings survived the Clippers 104-99. Ugly basketball, but the Kings did just enough. The Kings owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Kings answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. Kings' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
