The Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Sacramento Kings behind Anthony Davis’ game-saving block, 99-97.
Despite playing without two of their young players in De’Aaron Fox and Marvin Bagley, the Kings got off to a hot start offensively as they knocked down 3-of-4 three-point attempts to take the early lead. On the other end, the Lakers continued their outside shooting woes as they were unable to capitalize on multiple open looks.
Even after going small with Anthony Davis at center, Los Angeles was still unable to get much going as Sacramento packed the paint and dared them to shoot.
