After Action Report

The Kings squeaked past the Jazz 109-106. Kings' scorers couldn't be contained. Second-chance points piled up for the Kings; the Kings answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Whispers of a Jazz locker-room rift aren't helping. The Jazz rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Kings · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Kings · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
