After Action Report
The Kings edged the Heat 98-89. The Kings won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Kings' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Heat's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Kings' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
