After Action Report
In Toronto, the Kings snuck past the Raptors 90-85. The Raptors couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Kings. The Kings carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Kings bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Kings bench chemistry carried them. Kings' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
