After Action Report

The Kings pulled away from the Jazz 91-79. Ugly basketball, but the Kings did just enough. The Jazz owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Jazz's veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Kings bench chemistry carried them. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Jazz · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
