It is currently danger time for the Los Angeles Lakers, as they’re expected to be without Anthony Davis for at least a month and are still under .500 on the season.
On Wednesday, they traveled north to take on the Sacramento Kings, one of the more surprising teams in the NBA and one of the highest-scoring teams in the league.
The Lakers did a good job of competing in the first quarter, but after that, the roof caved in on them. They gave up 41 points in the second quarter and 40 in the third, as they had trouble limiting Sacramento to one shot and defending the 3-point shot.
Los Angeles’ lack of bench production was also a big problem, as it got only 22 points from its reserves. In the end, it ended up losing big, 134-120.
