The Kings took a 106-101 lead with just under two minutes left on a 3-pointer from Terence Davis. A 3-pointer by LeBron James cut the lead back to 106-104 but nevertheless, the Lakers were in the unexpected position of playing from behind against a Kings without two of their top three leading scorers.
