After Action Report

In a track meet, the Kings snuck past the Bulls 126-125. The breakneck pace played right into Kings' hands. Kings' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Bulls' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. Kings' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

  • Bulls · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
