After Action Report
The Kings squeaked past the Pistons 100-99. The Kings won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Kings' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Kings' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Kings · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
