The Lakers continued their best stretch of the season on Friday night, unplugging the Sacramento Kings’ victory beam in a 136-134 victory. The matchup was as back-and-forth as it gets, with 18 lead changes and 20 ties, but in the end the Lakers secured the win in the closing seconds.
The victory moved the Lakers to 19-21, back to nearly .500 and tied with the Minnesota Timberwolves for 11th-place in the Western Conference standings.
The production for L.A. was well-balanced. LeBron James had 37 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists, and Dennis Schroder had the game-winning free-throws as part of his own 27 points.
