After Action Report
In Sacramento, the Kings edged the Spurs 118-112. The breakneck pace played right into Kings' hands. The Kings answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Kings pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. Kings' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Kings · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Spurs · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
