After Action Report
The Lakers snuck past the Kings 92-91. The Lakers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Kings' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
