 The Lakers defeated the Kings, 125-101 tonight in Los Angeles.

DeMar DeRozan finished with a team-high 22 points along with 5 assists for the Kings in the losing effort. The Lakers improve their record to 20-10 with the win, while the Kings fall to 8-24 for the season.

 

Next Game is Against Pistons on Tuesday

 

Tonight's Game Observation:  

- The team is more active and more focused on the task at hand and did not allow the record of the opposing team determine their activity on the floor. We also witnessed a break out game from Nick Smith Jr., he provided a much needed relief to Luka especially with the absence of Austin Reaves. If we can develop Nick Smith Jr. to a more consistent back up it will be a much needed development, it is equivalent to trading for a quality and consistent point guard.

 

Suggestion: 

- Bad calls from referees continues to stun our players as well as the loyal laker fans watching the game. I still believe that the players should expect it by now and just channel their frustration by fighting for every loose ball and playing hard on defense. Use these bad officiating and turn it into an energy boost.

 

Dear Coach: 

- Nick Smith Jr. is a welcome development and you need to explore his capacity to contribute by giving him more time on the floor. I love the utilization of Lebron and Luka's time on the floor tonight, but have the courage to sit your superstars down when they are hugging the ball too much and complaining about bad calls.
