After Action Report

In Los Angeles, the Kings snuck past the Lakers 126-123 in double overtime. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Kings cashed in. The Kings carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Lakers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. Whispers of a Lakers locker-room rift aren't helping.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Kings · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
