After Action Report

The Warriors ran roughshod over the Kings 117-86. The Warriors got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Warriors owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Warriors played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Kings looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Kings' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Warriors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Warriors · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
