Richaun Holmes is getting whatever he wants against the Lakers. LA has no answer for his pick & roll game. 12 points on 6/6 shooting.
Kings are so much better with #22 on the floor. – 10:50 PM

Westbrook’s had some big stat games of late, but has yet to enter the box score outside of 3 TO’s. – 10:33 PM
Dave McMenamin @mcten

Yeah, this is gonna be a tough night for the Lakers.

Frank Vogel replaced DeAndre Jordan with Dwight Howard at the 7:19 mark of the 1st Q, an atypical rotation, and Howard just earned himself a pair of FT’s with an offensive board coming out of a time out. Two makes have LAL trailing 13-10. – 10:23 PM

Two early fouls for Terence Davis again. Buddy Hield coming in to replace him. – 10:17 PM
Jason Anderson @JandersonSacBee
No hesitation from Tyrese Haliburton on that first jumper. Haliburton knows he has passed up too many good looks over the first 21 games and Kings coach Alvin Gentry says it’s something they’ve discussed. – 10:16 PM
James Ham @James_HamNBA
Metu with the putback hammer. TD with the finish in transition. Kings are running. – 10:16 PM
