After Action Report

In a track meet, the Lakers blew the doors off the Kings 122-79. The tempo dragged the Kings into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Lakers are in a full-on tailspin; the Kings couldn't shake the cold spell. Kings' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Kings · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Lakers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
