After Action Report

The Kings demolished the Cavaliers 130-105. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Kings cashed in. The Kings carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Cavaliers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. Cavaliers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It broke open after the break.

What tipped it

  • Kings · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
