After Action Report

The Kings outlasted the Heat 126-117. Kings' offense had its way with the Heat. The Kings answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Kings' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Kings per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
