After Action Report

In Los Angeles, the Lakers survived the Kings 135-130. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Lakers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Kings · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
