In Sacramento, the Lakers squeaked past the Kings 111-110. The Kings couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Lakers. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Lakers; Kings' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Lakers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
