After Action Report

The Kings took care of the Grizzlies 99-83. The Grizzlies couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Kings. The Kings carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Kings' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Kings bench chemistry carried them. Kings' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Grizzlies · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Grizzlies · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Kings · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
