After Action Report

In Sacramento, the Kings rolled past the Grizzlies 138-104. Kings' scorers couldn't be contained. The Kings carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Kings pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Grizzlies looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Grizzlies rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Kings · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Grizzlies · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Grizzlies · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
