After Action Report
The Lakers snuck past the Kings 105-100. The Kings couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Lakers. The Lakers came in with something to prove after a loss; Kings' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Lakers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
