After Action Report

The Lakers outlasted the Kings 106-100. The Lakers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Kings rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Kings · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Kings · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
