After Action Report

The Kings ran roughshod over the Lakers 113-85. Kings' offense had its way with the Lakers. The Kings pushed the pace until the other side broke; Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Whispers of a Lakers locker-room rift aren't helping. The Lakers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Lakers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
