The Los Angeles Lakers had multiple chances to ice their win over the Sacramento Kings on Saturday evening. The actual clinching of the game came from Austin Reaves hitting two free throws, but it was Anthony Davis who initially had the opportunity to hit two free throws and go up four points.
Lakers head coach JJ Redick put the ball in Davis’ hands in the late-game situation, but he missed both free throws and ultimately kept the Lakers vulnerable before a Rui Hachimura offensive rebound and Reaves’ two free tries. After the game, questions were asked about Davis having the ball in late-game situations after a similar issue against the Orlando Magic earlier this season.
