After Action Report
In a track meet, the Kings ran roughshod over the Nuggets 122-84. The breakneck pace played right into Kings' hands. The Kings came in with something to prove after a loss; the Kings pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. The Nuggets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
