After Action Report
The Kings fended off the Wizards 103-97. The Kings won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Kings couldn't shake the cold spell; Kings' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Kings · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Wizards · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
