SACRAMENTO —
Either it’s a hurdle or a wall. The Lakers couldn’t be sure.
Now they are.
The Sacramento Kings fully have the Lakers’ number, one team completely dominating the other in a series that’s been badly tilted to away from Los Angeles over the last two seasons.
The Lakers’ 120-107 loss to Sacramento exposed so many of the team’s problems that have haunted them against the Kings’ in the past. Too much shooting. Too much speed. Too much toughness.
Too many questions without answers.
It didn’t matter that the Kings played Tuesday night against the Milwaukee Bucks and that they were missing starting guard Kevin Huerter and key reserve in Trey Lyles.
