After Action Report

The Lakers took care of the Kings 117-100. The Lakers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; shots just aren't falling for the Lakers lately. Whispers of a Kings locker-room rift aren't helping. Kings' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Kings · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Lakers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
