After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Kings edged the Lakers 97-91. The Kings won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Kings carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Kings' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Kings bench chemistry carried them. The Kings rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
