After Action Report
The Kings edged the Nets 86-80. Ugly basketball, but the Kings did just enough. The Kings couldn't shake the cold spell; Kings' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
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.
- Nets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
