After Action Report

The Kings ran roughshod over the Nets 106-79. Kings' scorers couldn't be contained. The Kings are in a full-on tailspin; the Kings pushed the pace until the other side broke. Whispers of a Nets locker-room rift aren't helping. The Nets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

What tipped it

  • Nets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Kings · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
