After Action Report

In Los Angeles, the Kings ran roughshod over the Clippers 122-97. The Clippers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Kings ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; shots just aren't falling for the Clippers lately. The Kings bench chemistry carried them. Kings' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Clippers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Clippers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Kings · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
