After Action Report
In a track meet, the Kings took care of the Cavaliers 122-108. The breakneck pace played right into Kings' hands. Kings' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Kings played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. Cavaliers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
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.
- Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Cavaliers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
