After Action Report

The Lakers edged the Kings 111-102. The Kings couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Lakers. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Lakers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Lakers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
