After Action Report

In Sacramento, the Kings edged the Lakers 130-123. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Kings cashed in. The Kings came in with something to prove after a loss; the Kings pushed the pace until the other side broke. Kings' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Kings · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Lakers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
