Lakers Avenge Upset

The Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Sacramento Kings 112-103, gaining redemption from their upset loss to the Kings on Tuesday. The Lakers still played very sloppy basketball, and gave Sacramento too many chances to get back in the game, with the lead at one point being cut to just 3 points. Luke Walton had a rare start, replacing Vladimir Radmanovic, and scored 4 points with a season-high 8 assists. Kobe Bryant sizzled with 32 points and 7 rebounds, and Pau Gasol contributed with 18 points and 11 boards. John Salmons led the Kings with 26 points.
