After Action Report

In Los Angeles, the Lakers blew the doors off the Kings 126-93. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. The Lakers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Lakers' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Kings looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Kings utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It broke open after the break.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • 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.
