After Action Report

In a track meet, the Kings outlasted the 76ers 114-95. The breakneck pace played right into Kings' hands. The Kings owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Kings came in with something to prove after a loss. The Kings bench chemistry carried them. The 76ers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
