After Action Report

The Kings rolled past the Nets 103-78. Kings' scorers couldn't be contained. Second-chance points piled up for the Kings; the Kings couldn't shake the cold spell. The Nets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Nets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Kings · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Kings · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Nets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
