After Action Report

In a track meet, the Raptors outlasted the Kings 117-100. The tempo dragged the Kings into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Kings owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Kings' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Kings looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Kings rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.

What tipped it

  • Kings · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
