After Action Report

The Lakers rolled past the Kings 124-100. The tempo dragged the Kings into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Lakers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Lakers came in with something to prove after a loss. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
