After Action Report

The Clippers buried the Kings 108-86. The better team simply showed up tonight. Clippers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Clippers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Kings looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Kings' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

What tipped it

  • Clippers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Kings · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
