After Action Report
In Sacramento, the Kings survived the Cavaliers 98-94. Ugly basketball, but the Kings did just enough. The Kings bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Cavaliers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. The Kings rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
