A much anticipated match up tonight between the Sacramento Kings and Los Angeles Lakers will be televised tonight on NBATV. Whether it was because Kobe Bryant was anticipated to come back today or not, it will be a great game. Robert Sacre has been moved to the starting line up to deal with the Kings superstar Demarcus Cousins.
Check out the games highlights below!
Two pretty post moves from @paugasol have LAL up 14-6; meanwhile, Sacre’s been really good on defense and the glass (4 boards).

D’Antoni identifying Lakers had 2-for-1 opportunity in last minute there was big. Meeks hits 3 to cut SAC lead to 30-28 after 1Q.

Wesley Johnson shoots the ball much better when he gets his feet set (as opposed to say, Nick Young), as his 3 is LAL’s 4th thus far.

More screen/roll success from Blake/Sacre on the last 2 trips have LAL within 6 despite some defensive breakdowns that infuriated D’Antoni.

Since the D’Antoni timeout tirade, Lakers respond: SAC’s 87-77 lead is down to 87-81 entering Q4.

Another big basket from Jodie Meeks – 101-97 Lakers over Kings with 1:09 left

Lakers win it 106-100 thanks to Jodie Meeks, who was a man on fire. Maybe he doesn’t want to give up that starting SG spot to Kobe
