After Action Report

The Kings survived the Lakers 93-92. The Lakers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Kings. The Kings played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Lakers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Survive-and-advance type win.

  • Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Lakers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
