After Action Report
The Kings squeaked past the Lakers 116-114. The Lakers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Kings came in with something to prove after a loss; Lakers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Whispers of a Lakers locker-room rift aren't helping. Kings' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Kings · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
