After Action Report

The Spurs squeaked past the Kings 106-104. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Spurs answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Spurs bent the defense out of shape from deep. Whispers of a Kings locker-room rift aren't helping. Spurs' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Kings · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Spurs · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
