After Action Report
The Lakers buried the Kings 127-82. The Kings had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Lakers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Lakers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Lakers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
