After Action Report
In Sacramento, the Kings handled the Grizzlies 107-97. Ugly basketball, but the Kings did just enough. Kings' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Kings steamroller is in full effect right now. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Kings per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Kings · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Kings · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Grizzlies · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
