After Action Report

In a track meet, the Kings outlasted the Wizards 110-98. The breakneck pace played right into Kings' hands. Kings' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Wizards couldn't shake the cold spell. The Kings bench chemistry carried them. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Wizards · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Kings · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
