The Los Angeles Lakers, powered by LeBron James and Luka Doncic, cruised past the last-placed Sacramento Kings. The Lakers proved the gulf between the two sides right from the get-go in the first quarter by scoring 36 points while conceding only 18. They went on to win the game by 128-104, registering a 24-point win.
It was a commanding win for the hosts, who are placed sixth in their conference following the win. With the Oklahoma City Thunder having already clinched the Western Conference, the Lakers could still make it to the playoffs.
Having had players missing matches all throughout the season, it was a turn in the fortunes for the Lakers as they took to the court with all their players being fit. LeBron James and Luka Doncic were the star performers for the home team as they recorded their second win in a row by a margin of more than 20 points.
Doncic was unarguably the best player on the court for the home team as the Slovenian scored 28 points, five rebounds, and had nine assists. Among his 28 points, Doncic scored four three-pointers, showcasing a great level of accuracy.
He has been the best player for the Lakers throughout the season. Doncic, with 32.5 points per game, ranks first among the entire NBA roster. He also ranks third when it comes to assists with 8.6 assists per game. In spite of his great season so far, the Lakers find themselves in sixth position on the Western Conference points table.
Coming into the game, LeBron’s availability was in doubt with arthritis in his left foot. However, the NBA’s all-time leading scorer played despite the injury scare and showed why he is considered to be the greatest player of all-time by millions of fans. In his 27-minute stay on the court, James scored 24 points, made three triple-point baskets, and gave five assists.
