After Action Report

The Lakers outlasted the Kings 112-103. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Lakers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; Kings' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Kings' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Kings · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Kings · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
