After Action Report

The Spurs ran roughshod over the Kings 116-93. Spurs' offense had its way with the Kings. The Spurs played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Spurs' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Kings looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Kings utilization choices clashed with the team identity. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

What tipped it

  • Spurs · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Kings · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
