After Action Report

The Kings downed the Jazz 127-114. The tempo dragged the Jazz into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Kings carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Kings' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Kings bench chemistry carried them. The Jazz rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.

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