After Action Report

In Sacramento, the Kings survived the Grizzlies 116-112. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Fresh off a statement win, the Kings stayed locked in; the Kings bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. Kings' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Kings · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Grizzlies · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
