The Los Angeles Lakers lost their momentum from a two-game win streak on Wednesday night, as they got tripped up by the Sacramento Kings in a 120-1076 road loss to their Pacific division rivals. After the game, Los Angeles head coach Darvin Ham revealed what he told LeBron James and the rest of the Lakers about the loss and the advice he gave them (h/t Lakers Nation).The Lakers were not in their top element which they needed in order to bring down a team like the Kings. Although Austin Reaves had 28 points to lead the Purple & Gold, the Lakers’ top two players, Anthony Davis and LeBron James had subpar performances. Davis had 22 points on 18 attempts from the field, while the four-time league Most Valuable Player mustered a total of 18 points on just 6-for-16 shooting from the floor.
Making it worse for the Lakers was their failure to contain Sacramento’s big guns. Domantas Sabonis went off for a triple-double of 17 points, 19 rebounds, and 10 assists, while Harrison Barnes woke up on the right side of the bed and dropped 23 points on the strength of an impressive 7-for-11 shooting from behind the arc.Making it worse for the Lakers was their failure to contain Sacramento’s big guns.
