After Action Report

The Kings outlasted the Pacers 116-101. The Kings got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Kings' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Kings' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Kings bench chemistry carried them. Kings' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Pacers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Kings · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
