After Action Report
The Kings squeaked past the Lakers 123-121 in overtime. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Kings cashed in. Kings' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Kings pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Kings bench chemistry carried them. Lakers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
