After Action Report
The Kings upended the Lakers 122-114. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Kings cashed in. The Kings carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Kings bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Lakers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
