After Action Report

The Kings ran roughshod over the Lakers 130-98. The Lakers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Kings carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Kings' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Kings · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • 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.
