After Action Report

In Sacramento, the Cavaliers squeaked past the Kings 112-110. Cavaliers' offense had its way with the Kings. Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Cavaliers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Whispers of a Kings locker-room rift aren't helping. Kings' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Kings · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
