After Action Report
The Kings downed the Pistons 95-81. Ugly basketball, but the Kings did just enough. The Kings owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Kings bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Kings bench chemistry carried them. The Kings rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

- Pistons · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Kings · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
