After Action Report
The Kings edged the Jazz 105-97. Kings controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Kings carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Kings' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Kings bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Kings per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
