After Action Report

The Kings ran roughshod over the Cavaliers 145-107. Kings controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Kings' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Kings carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Kings bench chemistry carried them. Cavaliers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • 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.
  • Kings · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Kings · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
