After Action Report
The Kings survived the Lakers 97-95. Ugly basketball, but the Kings did just enough. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Kings; Kings' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Tonight's Lakers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Kings · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
