After Action Report

In Los Angeles, the Lakers fended off the Kings 103-94. The Kings couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Lakers. The Lakers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Kings' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Kings · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
