After Action Report
In a track meet, the Kings held off the Nuggets 123-114. The Nuggets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Kings. Kings' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Kings carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
