After Action Report

The Kings edged the Lakers 103-96. Ugly basketball, but the Kings did just enough. The Kings answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. The Kings rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
