After Action Report
In a track meet, the Kings knocked off the Grizzlies 129-121. Kings controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Kings carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Kings' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Early returns: the Kings per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
