After Action Report

The Kings buried the Warriors 115-85. The Kings got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Kings owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Kings came in with something to prove after a loss. Whispers of a Warriors locker-room rift aren't helping. Warriors' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Warriors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Warriors · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Warriors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Kings · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Kings · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
