After Action Report
In Sacramento, the Nuggets edged the Kings 99-91. The Nuggets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Nuggets' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Kings are in a full-on tailspin. Whispers of a Kings locker-room rift aren't helping. The Kings rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Kings · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
