After Action Report
The Kings survived the Nuggets 86-81. The Kings won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Second-chance points piled up for the Kings; Kings' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Nuggets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Nuggets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
