The Sacramento Kings took down the host Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday, 97 - 96. Sacramento (24 - 32) has now won four games in a row, thanks in large part to All-Star center DeMarcus Cousins. On Tuesday, Cousins absolutely dominated the Lakers' frontcourt, scoring 40 points to go along with 12 rebounds and eight assists. Cousins reached the line an astounding 19 times, but made just 12 of his free - throw attempts. Free-throws provided a major edge for the Kings, as the team hit 18 free - throws to Los Angeles's 8. The game proved to be very even, as rebounding and turnover totals for the two teams were nearly identical. Los Angeles (19 - 38) had trouble containing Cousins but saw excellent play from its guards and bench. In particular, sixth man Lou Williams exploded for 29 points and five assists. One of the more disappointing aspects of the night for the Lakers, though, were the struggles of second overall pick Brandon Ingram. Ingram had just seven points on 2 - of - 7 shooting and 1 - of - 4 from the free - throw line. One of those free - throw misses was an airball late in the tight game. Not every Lakers was as cold as Ingram, however, as the team hit an impressive 12 three - pointers. The Lakers will visit Phoenix on Wednesday, while the Kings will see Golden State.
