After Action Report

The Kings buried the Jazz 124-87. The Kings got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Kings' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Kings ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Kings bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Kings per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
