The Lakers pulled away from the Kings 122-108. The Lakers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Lakers came in with something to prove after a loss; 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.
