After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Kings squeaked past the Lakers 96-95. The Lakers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Kings. The Lakers ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Lakers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Kings bench chemistry carried them. The Kings rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
