After Action Report
The Kings buried the Nets 118-84. The Kings got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Kings owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Kings' outside barrage was a constant threat. Whispers of a Nets locker-room rift aren't helping. Nets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Nets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Kings · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
