The Los Angeles Lakers host the Sacramento Kings on Sunday, and if you’re wondering how you can watch all the action live, you’ve come to the right place.
The Purple and Gold finally snapped a three-game losing streak on Saturday by downing a short-handed Golden State Warriors squad, 129-101. They had lost five of their previous seven games, and they now hold a 35-24 record and are in sixth place in the Western Conference.
Their bench, which is one of the worst in the NBA, produced 51 points and was led by Luke Kennard (16 points) and Jake LaRavia (15 points). Overall, the Lakers shot 46.3% from 3-point range and had 29 assists while turning the basketball over just nine times.
Sacramento, which has the Western Conference’s worst record at 14-47, has been accused by many people of tanking. Recent All-Stars Domantas Sabonis and Zach LaVine are done for the season due to injury, and the team has nothing to play for, other than perhaps a higher shot at landing the No. 1 pick in this summer’s NBA draft. It recently ended a 16-game losing streak and has dropped 17 of its last 19 contests.
This will be the fourth time this season the Lakers will take on the Kings. They currently lead the season series two games to one.
