Huerter led the way with 26 points, followed by Murray with 23,
Fox with 22 and Barnes with 20, helping the Kings beat the
Lakers for the second straight time this season.
LeBron James went for a game-high 31 points as part of a
double-double for the Lakers, who played without Anthony Davis
(strained right foot) and Russell Westbrook (sore left foot).
Coming off a blowout loss at Phoenix on Monday, the Lakers held
the upper hand for most of the first quarter and retained a
44-43 lead near the midpoint of the second period before the
Kings' offense took control of the game.
Sacramento put up 41 points in the second quarter to take a
66-58 lead into the break, then left the visitors behind for
good with a 40-point uprising in the third period, building a
106-86 lead.
Murray (six), Huerter (three) and Barnes (three) combined for 12
3-pointers, one more than the entire Lakers team. Sacramento
outscored the visitors 51-33 from beyond the arc.
Murray used 6-for-12 accuracy on 3-pointers to give him his
fifth 20-point game of the season. The Kings are 5-0 in those
contests.
His six 3-pointers matched his season best, set earlier this
month at Cleveland.
Sabonis, the league leader in double-doubles, recorded just his
second triple-double with 13 points and game-highs in rebounds
with 21 and assists with 12.
Neemias Queta was a sixth King scoring in double figures with 10
points off the bench, making all five of his shots and helping
Sacramento outshoot the visitors 50.5 percent to 50.0 percent.
James produced his 31 points in 34 minutes. He completed his
double-double with a team-high 11 assists while also finding
time for six rebounds.
Lonnie Walker IV added 19 points, Dennis Schroder 18, Thomas
Bryant 17 to go with a team-high 10 rebounds and Patrick
Beverley 13 for the Lakers.
