After Action Report
The Kings survived the Lakers 98-95. The Kings won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Second-chance points piled up for the Lakers. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Kings per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
