After Action Report

The Lakers fended off the Kings 121-114. The Kings had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Lakers' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
