After two consecutive losses without LeBron James, Josh Hart and the Los Angeles Lakers redeemed themselves against the Sacramento Kings to conclude 2018.
Although the Lakers trailed for most of the game, Hart’s career-high 17 points in a single half kept them within striking distance through the first two quarters. In the 121-114 win over the Kings, he finished with a season-high 22 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists in 40 minutes.
With the young core ending a 13-game losing streak for teams when James does not play, Hart reflected on the team’s two losses despite having double-digit leads.
