After Action Report

In Sacramento, the Kings took care of the Nets 116-106. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Kings answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Kings' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Kings per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

  • Kings · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
