The Kings rolled past the Lakers 117-97. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Kings cashed in. The Kings carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
