After Action Report
In Sacramento, the Lakers handled the Kings 99-85. Lakers' scorers couldn't be contained. The Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Lakers bent the defense out of shape from deep. Whispers of a Kings locker-room rift aren't helping. The Kings rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Kings · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
