The Los Angeles Lakers (6 - 16) defeated the Sacramento Kings (11 - 11) 98 - 95 on Tuesday at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. The Lakers were down 81 - 78 following the third quarter, but were able to make a run in the final quarter, out - scoring the Kings 20 - 14 to finish off their comeback with a victory. The Kings showed superior shooting, going 46 percent from the field and 47 percent from the three - point line compared to the Lakers who shot 40 percent from the field and only 20 percent from beyond the arc, but they were forced into 16 turnovers, which allowed the Lakers to steal the victory. Kobe Bryant finished with a game - high in points. He went 11 - for - 27 from the field and 2 - for - 6 from the three - point line to score 32 points, while also handing out six assists. He was able to get to the free throw line eight times and converted on all eight attempts. It was a nice bounce back game for him after struggling with his shot against the Pelicans on Sunday. Ed Davis went a perfect 5 - for - 5 from the field to score 11 points, while grabbing six rebounds. It was his second game in a row in double figures, after not reaching more than six points in his last 10 games. The Lakers also had a nice effort from their bench with both Carlos Boozer and Nick Young playing well. Boozer finished with 15 points and nine rebounds, while Young had 12 points and four rebounds. DeMarcus Cousins continued to sit out for the Kings, which may have been the difference in this one. Rudy Gay and Darren Collison did everything they could to get the win. Gay went 7 - for - 18 from the field and 2 - for - 4 from the three - point line to score 23 points, while Collison went 11 - for - 18 from the field and 2 - for - 3 from beyond the arc to score 26 points. Gay has now combined for 52 points in his last two games, as he's attempted to make up for Cousins' absence. The only other King to reach double figures in points was Ben McLemore, who finished with 15 points and two assists. The bench did n't have much of a presence and only scored 18 points. The Kings' next game will be at home against the Houston Rockets on Thursday, while the Lakers will travel to San Antonio to play the Spurs on Friday.
