After Action Report
In Sacramento, the Lakers snuck past the Kings 92-90. Lakers' offense had its way with the Kings. Fresh off a statement win, the Lakers stayed locked in; the Lakers bent the defense out of shape from deep. Whispers of a Kings locker-room rift aren't helping. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Kings · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Lakers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
