After Action Report
The Kings buried the Lakers 120-97. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Kings cashed in. The Kings couldn't shake the cold spell; Kings' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Lakers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Kings · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
