After Action Report
In a track meet, the Kings rolled past the Lakers 118-89. Kings torched the Lakers on the offensive end. Kings' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Lakers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Lakers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
