After Action Report
The Kings fended off the Heat 97-89. Kings' scorers couldn't be contained. The Kings answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Kings' outside barrage was a constant threat. Whispers of a Heat locker-room rift aren't helping. Kings' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Heat · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Kings · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
