After Action Report
The Kings snuck past the Lakers 108-106. Kings controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Second-chance points piled up for the Kings; shots just aren't falling for the Kings lately. Whispers of a Lakers locker-room rift aren't helping. The Lakers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Kings · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Kings · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
