After Action Report
In Sacramento, the Lakers outlasted the Kings 112-98. Every possession went the Lakers way. The Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Kings' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. Whispers of a Kings locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Kings · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
