The Sacramento Kings will take on the Los Angeles Lakers for the third time this season on Tuesday, and they’ll be hoping the result looks more like their first matchup than their second matchup.
One of the highlights of 2021 for Kings fans was watching Sacramento “Beat LA” 141-137 after three overtime periods. That feels like an eternity ago with all that’s transpired since, but it was just over a month ago.
The second time the Kings and Lakers faced off wasn’t nearly as successful for Sacramento. Even with LeBron James sidelined, the Kings couldn’t keep things close enough for the contest to be interesting.
