After Action Report
In Sacramento, the Kings ran roughshod over the Lakers 121-87. Kings' starting five clicked while the Lakers looked disjointed. Kings' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Kings' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Lakers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Kings · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
