Lakers vs Kings Recap

The Kings won the third quarter 34-29 and stretched a 7-point halftime lead. Kings 61-54 at the break became Kings 95-83 after three quarters. The fourth ended 29-29. Sacramento shot 48 of 82 from the field, and Los Angeles hit 8 of 36 from deep.
Luka Dončić scored 42 points with 8 assists for the Lakers, but DeMar DeRozan answered with 32 for Sacramento. Malik Monk added 8 assists, matching Dončić. The Kings also turned the ball over 12 times, yet it did not cost them, because they converted so many of their attempts at the rim and beyond the arc.
The number to know: Kings 3PT 17 of 26. That accuracy from deep left the Lakers unable to close a gap that stayed at 12 points after the third quarter.
