After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Kings snuck past the Lakers 99-98. The Lakers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Kings. Kings' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Kings carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Kings bench chemistry carried them. Kings' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
