After Action Report
The Kings squeaked past the Lakers 114-112. Every possession went the Kings way. Kings' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; fresh off a statement win, the Kings stayed locked in. Whispers of a Lakers locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Kings · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Kings · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
