Keys to the Game:
•Rebounds
Last night against the Jazz, the Kings allowed second chance after second chance on defense. Win the rebounding battle, especially on defense.
The Kings struggled to make their 3-pointers in yesterday's game, missing 21 of them (9 for 30, 30%). The inability to knock down those threes is what lost them the game in the end. Change that tonight by hitting closer to 40-43% of your three pointers.
