After Action Report

The Kings fended off the Heat 116-107. The Kings got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Kings' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; fresh off a statement win, the Kings stayed locked in. Early returns: the Kings per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
