Anthony Davis had 36 points, 15 rebounds, and eight assists in the Lakers’ 132-122 win over Sacramento, spoiling interim Kings head coach Doug Christie’s debut.

The Los Angeles Lakers hosted the Sacramento Kings on Saturday night, looking to earn a season sweep over their division rivals. The Lakers were without a key piece in LeBron James while the Kings had just fired their head coach in Mike Brown.

Just a week ago, the Los Angeles Lakers took down the Sacramento Kings on the road in back-to-back games. Now, they have the chance to sweep the season series back at home against the Kings, who have lost five straight games and are now going through some major changes after firing head coach Mike Brown.

Los Angeles went up by 11 in the opening period and led 40-31 at the end of the first quarter. Sacramento came back to tie the game on a dunk by Keegan Murray with 5:08 to play in the first half and led 66-65 at the halftime break after Fox made two free throws with 13.1 seconds remaining.

The Sacramento Kings losing streak was extended to six games after falling to the Los Angeles Lakers 132-122 in the team's first game since firing head coach Mike Brown.

Ahead of Saturday's game in Los Angeles, Kings players spoke about the firing of head coach Mike Brown on Friday.
