After being 10-point favorites and falling to the Charlotte Hornets on Monday, the Kings were back on their home floor in Sacramento looking to bounce back against an ailing Los Angeles Lakers team and wound up walking off the court with a 134-120 victory.
The Lakers would head into Sacramento with injuries to Anthony Davis, Russell Westbrook and Austin Reaves, putting a hell of a workload on the shoulders of LeBron James. Through the first quarter, the Kings looked to be in a bit of a rush to find their offensive flow. Their shots weren’t falling and everything started to look like a “here we go again” type of feel.
