After Action Report

In Sacramento, the Kings snuck past the Grizzlies 116-112. Kings controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Kings are in a full-on tailspin; Kings' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Grizzlies looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Grizzlies' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

  • Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Grizzlies · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
