After Action Report
In Sacramento, the Kings took care of the Lakers 113-103. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Kings cashed in. Kings' defenders refused to give up clean looks; second-chance points piled up for the Lakers. Early returns: the Kings per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
