After Action Report
In a track meet, the Kings rolled past the Lakers 115-92. The tempo dragged the Lakers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Kings ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Kings' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. Lakers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It broke open after the break.

- Kings · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
