Lakers Secure Narrow Victory Over Kings in Sacramento

LeBron James leads Los Angeles with 32 points as a late-game rebound and controversial call seal the Kings' third straight loss.

LeBron James scored 32 points, including 23 in the first half, and added seven rebounds, six assists, and four steals in the Lakers' 103-99 win over the Kings.
A controversial late-game out-of-bounds call denied the Kings an opportunity to tie the game, with replays suggesting the ball may have last touched Anthony Davis.
The Kings have now lost three consecutive games and sit 12th in the Western Conference standings, struggling with slow starts and close finishes this season.
Domantas Sabonis posted a double-double with 19 points and 19 rebounds, while De’Aaron Fox led Sacramento with 31 points, but the team fell short in critical moments.
The Lakers improved to 16-12 and extended their win streak to three games, with D’Angelo Russell contributing 20 points off the bench and Austin Reaves adding 16 points.
