After Action Report
The Kings squeaked past the Timberwolves 97-93. Ugly basketball, but the Kings did just enough. Kings' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Kings' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. Kings' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
