After Action Report

The Kings squeaked past the Warriors 98-96. The Warriors couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Kings. The Kings answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Warriors' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Warriors looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Kings · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Warriors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
