After Action Report

The Kings ran roughshod over the Heat 109-83. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Fresh off a statement win, the Kings stayed locked in; Heat's defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. Kings' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.

What tipped it

  • Kings · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
