After Action Report
In a track meet, the Kings pulled away from the Trail Blazers 107-94. Kings controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Kings came in with something to prove after a loss; Kings' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Early returns: the Kings per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
