After Action Report
In a track meet, the Kings outlasted the Lakers 108-98. Ugly basketball, but the Kings did just enough. The Kings answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Kings pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. Kings' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
