After Action Report

The Kings outlasted the Wizards 131-113. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Kings cashed in. The Kings answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Wizards owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. The Wizards rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
