After Action Report
In Sacramento, the Kings squeaked past the Lakers 102-97. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Kings carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Kings' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Kings' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
