Kings vs Lakers 3rd Quarter

LAL’s defense has been really good at limiting SAC’s open looks. They’ve managed to beat the buzzer with a pair of contested jumpers here in the 3rd, but LAL lead by 13 after Caruso’s first 3 of the game midway through the period.

KCP was 23 for 39 from 3 in this building for his career, including 6 of 6 this season … until he finally missed a 3 early in the 3rd Q.
Wesley Matthews will not return tonight due to a neck strain. X-rays were negative.

Kings vs Lakers 2nd Quarter

Really nice defense from Kuzma on Fox on a switch to force a miss. De’Aaron, who’s been red hot lately, is 1 for 6 to start tonight.

Schroder’s been active on him as well, contesting everything.

Important for LAL to get both THT and KCP going, and they’ve combined for 15 points thus far to help LAL take a 44-32 lead.

A strong response to SAC’s run to close the 2nd here was capped by KCP’s 3rd 3, and a tough layup from Kuzma (8 points).

Nice lift from THT here, with 3 buckets in SAC’s paint, to counter their bench run.

LAL’s bench was outplayed by that of Sacramento, who have four new rotation players in Davis, Harkless, Wright, and Metu, and LAL’s 13-point lead is down to just 2 at 29-27 as a result after 12 minutes of action.

Kings vs Lakers 1st Quarter

Wesley Matthews came into this game questionable to play with a neck contusion, and he just hit his head/neck area on the basket, sliding backward after a layup attempt.

He’ll head straight to the locker room at the 1:27 mark of the 1st Q.

A 10-2 run for the Kings after Matthews and Harrell replaced Kuzma and Gasol has LAL’s lead quickly down to 6.

Really strong start from the Lakers here against a Kings team that’s won 7 of 9 games, as KCP hit B2B triples to push the lead to 24-11.

Marc Gasol’s been key as the defensive anchor, and despite a bunch of TO’s, LAL have been able to run the offense through him.

Sacramento’s starting lineup was their closing lineup for much of the season until the Bagley Jr. injury, when Haliburton replaced him in the starting lineup.

They’re a +11.6 on the season, but LAL are off to a good start, anchored by Marc Gasol, and lead 15-9.

Despite 5 early turnovers, the Lakers open with a 10-4 lead at Sacramento, holding the Kings to 2 for 8 FG’s while hitting 5 of their 8 attempts.

LA Lakers have 5 turnovers in just 4 minutes in the 1st Quarter. They lead 8-4.
