Kings defeat Lakers to end the California Classic

The Sacramento Kings defeated the Los Angeles Lakers 87-75 in the Lakers’ third game in four days at the Chase Center in San Francisco for the California Classic. L.A. trailed by 11 points going into the fourth quarter, but they managed to grab a small lead halfway through it and trailed by only one with 2:09 left in the game at 76-75 before running out of steam.

Keegan Murray, a lottery selection of the Kings, was crucial for his team, scoring 24 points on 9 of 16 shooting and making most of the crucial plays late. L.A. wasn’t as strong defensively as they had been in routes of Miami and Golden State over the weekend because they were without their starting center Jay Huff due to health and safety procedures. The major issue was Sacramento’s offensive rebounds, and the Lakers also struggled with their shooting.
