After Action Report
The Kings ran roughshod over the Lakers 140-111. The Kings got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Kings came in with something to prove after a loss; Kings' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Lakers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Kings' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Kings · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Lakers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
