The Los Angeles Lakers played a pretty good game on Wednesday night but they were unable to make the most important of plays as they fell to the Sacramento Kings, 123-120. Dennis Schröder had 28 points for the Lakers while Montrezl Harrell pitched in 26 points and 13 points but the valiant efforts weren’t enough for the Lakers to survive on Wednesday.
Buddy Hield had a game-high 29 points for the Kings and had several huge shots. Meanwhile, the Lakers had their own great chance to take a lead late in the game but Schröder, Harrell, and Kuzma all missed chances to potentially take a lead to steal a road win.
The Lakers played tough and without LeBron James, Anthony Davis or Marc Gasol almost got themselves a win on the biggest getaway day in the league. While some teams might freak out about where the Lakers are having lost two straight going into the break and losing seven of their last 10, the Lakers are doing just fine with a whole half of the season left to go.
