After Action Report
The Kings downed the Lakers 112-98. Every possession went the Kings way. The Lakers couldn't shake the cold spell; Lakers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Whispers of a Lakers locker-room rift aren't helping. Early returns: the Kings per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
