After Action Report
The Lakers buried the Kings 129-89. Lakers' offense had its way with the Kings. The Lakers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; the Lakers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.

- Kings · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Lakers · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
