After Action Report
The Kings ran roughshod over the Lakers 117-87. Kings torched the Lakers on the offensive end. Kings' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; Lakers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Kings bench chemistry carried them. It was over by halftime.
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 · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
