After Action Report

The Kings squeaked past the Jazz 99-98. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Kings sent shots into the fifth row all night; Kings' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Kings · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
  • Jazz · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
