After Action Report
The Kings snuck past the Cavaliers 92-87. The Cavaliers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Kings. The Kings couldn't shake the cold spell; Kings' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Cavaliers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Kings rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Kings · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
