Great game to watch. The JJ's live and die by the 3 pointer to some extent, jacked up a few iffy long range shots in the final minutes that didn't fall.

It was a great game to watch. I was hoping the JJ's might pinch it but as you said they fell too in love with jacking up three's late whilst the Kings kept executing down the other end with that big shot by Vasiljevic icing it and carried on a bit afterwards, reportedly he's received death threats since too.

What wasn't good was Kings coach Chase Buford kicking a hole in the electronic signage and avoiding being suspended just got another fine for his poor behaviour.
