After Action Report

The Kings fended off the Jazz 101-94. The Kings won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Kings' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Kings played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Jazz looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. 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.
  • Kings · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
