After Action Report
In a track meet, the Kings blew the doors off the Cavaliers 165-115. Kings torched the Cavaliers on the offensive end. The Cavaliers are in a full-on tailspin; Cavaliers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Kings per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.

- Cavaliers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
