After Action Report
In Miami, the Kings demolished the Heat 126-92. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Kings cashed in. The Kings owned the glass, generating extra possessions; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Kings. The Kings bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Heat utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Garbage time started early.

- Kings · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Kings · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
