Marvin Bagley III was born on March 14, 1999. On that date, the Sacramento Kings defeated the Los Angeles Lakers 105 - 101, and it’s no coincidence that his first taste of NBA basketball also came in a win against the Evil Empire. Sacramento was able to pull out a close victory behind solid performances from De’Aaron Fox, Frank Mason, and Marvin Bagley, while the Lakers were led in scoring by Mo Wagner and Josh Hart.
The Kings started the game with Fox, Mason, Jackson, Bagley, and Giles, and the offensive strategy seemed a wholly different concept than what Dave Joerger ran last year.
