After Action Report
The Spurs fended off the Kings 97-88. Spurs' scorers couldn't be contained. Spurs' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Kings answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Kings rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Kings · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Spurs · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
