After Action Report
The Kings blew the doors off the Heat 124-93. Kings' defense smothered the Heat all night. The Kings owned the glass, generating extra possessions; fresh off a statement win, the Kings stayed locked in. The Kings bench chemistry carried them. Kings' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it

- Kings · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Kings · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
