After Action Report

The Kings snuck past the Jazz 103-101. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Kings couldn't shake the cold spell; the Kings bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Jazz rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.

What tipped it

  • Jazz · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Kings · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
