After Action Report
The Lakers outlasted the Kings 92-84. The Kings couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Lakers. Fresh off a statement win, the Lakers stayed locked in; Lakers' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. The Lakers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
