After Action Report
The Lakers squeaked past the Kings 102-98. The Lakers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Shots just aren't falling for the Lakers lately; Lakers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Kings · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Lakers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
