After Action Report
The Kings edged the Nets 97-91. Kings' scorers couldn't be contained. The Kings carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Kings' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Whispers of a Nets locker-room rift aren't helping. Nets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Nets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Kings · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
