After Action Report
In Sacramento, the Kings blew the doors off the Cavaliers 119-95. Kings controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Second-chance points piled up for the Kings; Kings' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. Cavaliers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
