After Action Report

In Los Angeles, the Lakers demolished the Kings 132-108. The breakneck pace played right into Lakers' hands. Second-chance points piled up for the Lakers; Kings' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Never a doubt in this one.
