After Action Report
The Kings survived the Raptors 92-91. Ugly basketball, but the Kings did just enough. The Kings answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Raptors carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Kings bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Kings per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
