After Action Report
In Sacramento, the Kings fended off the Cavaliers 103-96. Ugly basketball, but the Kings did just enough. Kings' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Kings carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
