After Action Report
The Kings survived the Clippers 88-86. The Kings won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Clippers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Clippers bent the defense out of shape from deep. Clippers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Clippers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
