After Action Report

The Kings survived the Jazz 103-98. Ugly basketball, but the Kings did just enough. Second-chance points piled up for the Kings; the Kings carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. 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.
