In Sacramento, the Kings survived the Heat 111-108. Kings controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Kings' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Heat came in with something to prove after a loss. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Kings per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
