You know it's bad when I snooze through the highlights of this game. There isn't much to say about this. Obviously, the Lakers would struggle being a really shorthanded team that they are without Ingram, Ball, and I.T. in the lineup. Sacramento just came off a blowout loss to the Warriors the other night. That's as embarrassing as it gets. The biggest difference is that the Kings' bench outscored the Lakers' 2nd unit 37-19. Buddy Hield for the Kings continues to excel as the leading scorer for the 2nd unit. How shorthanded are the Lakers' 2nd unit? Zubac is the top performer with 7 points and 10 rebounds off the bench. Hield went for the steal and the dunk to give the Kings a two-point lead. Then, De'Aaron Fox sealed it to give Sacramento a 84-80 lead. Lakers had a chance at the end with a three-ball from Lopez (if I remember right), but too little too late. Final stats: Randle lead the starting five with 19 points and 5 rebounds, Kuz added 13 points, and KCP racked up 16 points despite not hitting a single three this game. It's gonna get a lot ugly with the Lakers having Utah and San Antonio on their schedule next. Both teams are in desperation mode to ensure a playoff spot in the West. Outside of Houston and Golden State, #1 and #2 respectively, seeds 3-8 are a "who's who" in the Western Conference.
