After Action Report

The Kings rolled past the Lakers 125-79. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Kings cashed in. The Kings carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Kings' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Kings bench chemistry carried them. Kings' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Kings · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
