After Action Report
The Kings squeaked past the Pistons 97-96. Ugly basketball, but the Kings did just enough. The Kings came in with something to prove after a loss; Kings' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Kings · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
