After Action Report

In Sacramento, the Kings snuck past the Lakers 114-111. The better team simply showed up tonight. Kings' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Kings played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. The Kings rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
