After Action Report
The Lakers blew the doors off the Kings 111-86. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Lakers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Lakers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
