00:00:00It's a strong move, the only way you could put it right there.
00:00:02Yeah, he recognized that he's much bigger and stronger than his opposition and backed him in.
00:00:16Now the Lakers, Gabe Vinson.
00:00:20Well, there he is under the basket.
00:00:22Yeah, he's, I think it's an ankle.
00:00:23Yeah, he's trying to walk it off.
00:00:26Fortunately, the whistle sound that he gave, he's going straight to the locker.
00:00:29Yeah, he's going to walk it right to the locker room.
00:00:32So the Lakers got to put somebody in the game for him here.
00:00:36The typical basketball injury where you jump and when you come down or something,
00:00:40you don't get your foot flat on the floor.
00:00:43You touch the side of somebody else's and you roll that ankle.
00:00:47Vincent, 19 minutes.
00:00:49Statistically, three points, a rebound and an assist.
00:00:52And now Jake LaRabia, he seems to be in and out and in and out.
00:00:56Jake, back into the game right now.
00:00:5914 minutes logged so far for Jake.
00:01:04Lakers have played eight.
00:01:05Austin continues his fine shooting from the stripe.
00:01:0912 for 12.
00:01:11Austin Reeves.
00:01:13Career highs in points.
00:01:14He says rebounds and steals last year.
00:01:16Looking to take it to the next level.
00:01:18LaRabia picks up the foul as Levine was looking for the rim.
00:01:21We haven't even played four minutes yet here in the third.
00:01:2674-68.
00:01:29Again, LaRabia picks up the foul as Zach Levine.
00:01:31It doesn't hold true to all players, but most right-handers,
00:01:35when they're going to the left hard off the dribble,
00:01:38they usually want to stop and pull up and shoot a jump.
00:01:40But you see, you don't have to square your shoulders up.
00:01:43But when you're going to your right hard off the dribble,
00:01:46then they can take it all the way to the right.
00:01:49Of course, much different circumstance,
00:01:51but these two teams just saw each other a couple of weeks ago
00:01:54in the final preseason game.
00:01:57They played Schroeder at 25.
00:02:00There was preseason this year?
00:02:01Boy, you pulled a fast one, didn't you?
00:02:05I can't make it.
00:02:07I'm hurt.
00:02:11Showing up when it counts, Stu.
00:02:12That's all that matters.
00:02:13I don't hear anything.
00:02:14Almost threw it down.
00:02:16Now up ahead for Levine.
00:02:17Here he goes.
00:02:18Zach all the way.
00:02:19Score!
00:02:20Levine!
00:02:23Levine, of course, coming over from Chicago.
00:02:31Levine originally drafted by the Wolves.
00:02:34Jake can't hit from three.
00:02:36That's tapped around.
00:02:37Look at that hustle.
00:02:37Look at Aiton doing work, but he couldn't finish it.
00:02:40That's hustle, though.
00:02:41I mean, he has played real tenaciously all game long.
00:02:46Both ends of the floor.
00:02:48And eight for 11 from the field.
00:02:50Seven boards for DeAndre Aiton.
00:02:55100% engaged so far as a member of the Lakers.
00:02:59Reeves, catch, shoot, no five.
00:03:02Underneath.
00:03:03They get it.
00:03:04Smart picked up the garbage right underneath, but couldn't finish it.
00:03:08Lakers are up by two.
00:03:11Levine once again trying to get around eight, and he does.
00:03:16Again, going to that dominant hand, taking it all the way to the rim.
00:03:21We're tied for the seventh time.
00:03:22Points in the paint.
00:03:2334 for Sacramento.
00:03:2534 for the Lakers.
00:03:27We're tied at 74.
00:03:29Any number you look at, it's pretty even up in this one.
00:03:33Reeves, leans in.
00:03:34And can't score.
00:03:39A lot of numbers are equal, except, you know, you're trading threes for three-pointers for free throws.
00:03:47Here's Levine.
00:03:48Got it!
00:03:50Inside, outside, it's all about Zach.
00:03:53Eight straight points.
00:03:54And they take a two-point lead.
00:03:57So, where the Lakers have dominated at the line, Sacramento has dominated at three, but then everything else, right there, close to each other.
00:04:06Smart, up, can't score, fouled.
00:04:09Two free throws.
00:04:15Mark with Marcus Smart will be at the free throw line as we take a break.
00:04:20Zach Levine keeping the Kings in the front as he scores 21 so far.
00:04:25Knocked down jumpers and taking it through with 21.
00:04:29He's doing it from everywhere on the floor.
00:04:32Both corners and threes, obviously, in transition where he can show off some of that athleticism.
00:04:37But his jumper is working this evening.
00:04:39And, boy, you've got some real issues when you're trying to defend Zach Levine.
00:04:44He's trying to start the year with three straight 30-point games.
00:04:49Eight straight points in this game right now for Levine.
00:04:55He averages about 18 and a half in his career against the Lakers.
00:05:02Well, I think Manon, Chris Manon, is going to come into the game.
00:05:06How about that?
00:05:07We didn't see him play one second in the preseason.
00:05:11From Vanderbilt.
00:05:13So, they're going to give the undrafted rookie a chance, it appears.
00:05:19Well, Chris gets an opportunity.
00:05:21Let's see if he can make the most of it.
00:05:23Sometimes that's all it takes.
00:05:30Well, he was at the scorer's table.
00:05:32He's still there.
00:05:33He's just sitting down.
00:05:36There he is.
00:05:37He's coming in for Marcus Smart.
00:05:38So, he'll be there until the next dead ball.
00:05:41He misses here.
00:05:43They get pizza.
00:05:45Hey, by the way, I was watching a game the other night.
00:05:47Yeah.
00:05:47Somebody missed two free throws in Utah in the fourth quarter.
00:05:51The entire state got fed.
00:05:54You're back to that one.
00:05:55The entire state.
00:05:59Levine pulls up.
00:06:02The average is about nine and a half three-point attempts a game already this season.
00:06:07In the corner of the battle.
00:06:08Should be on.
00:06:09They're kind of fouling Sabonis for taking the legs out from Vanderbilt.
00:06:13That's four fouls on Sabonis.
00:06:27He's been in trouble from the start.
00:06:29More ways than one.
00:06:31He's been dealing with Aiden and everything else.
00:06:34He's about as poor as I've ever seen Sabonis play, to be honest.
00:06:39Chris Manon in the game.
00:06:41Well, you talked about him being at the scorer's table.
00:06:43Well, now he's on the floor ready to get some actual minutes.
00:06:50Defensive standout.
00:06:51Led the Ivy League in steals when he was at Cornell.
00:06:56Then shipped it over to Vandy for his senior year.
00:06:58You said defensive standout?
00:06:59He was a defensive standout.
00:07:01You want to make a team, be a defensive standout.
00:07:05He played in the summer league.
00:07:07He did not play for the Lakers.
00:07:08He played for the Warriors.
00:07:11Average 11 points in five and a half boards.
00:07:13But obviously made an impression.
00:07:15Because the Lakers signed him to a two-way contract.
00:07:20Vanderbilt.
00:07:22One out of two.
00:07:24So, no pizza.
00:07:26They denied the pizza promotion again.
00:07:28Field goals in the third, though.
00:07:30The Lakers lacking three out of 12.
00:07:32All twos.
00:07:33They haven't hit a three.
00:07:34Sacramento five for 11.
00:07:35This would be...
00:07:37Another three for them.
00:07:40Malik Monk.
00:07:42Out of Kentucky.
00:07:45There's a runner-up for six-man of the year a couple of years ago.
00:07:49Reeves.
00:07:49A-R bounce.
00:07:52Underneath Aiden.
00:07:53Trying to take charge.
00:07:54Once, twice.
00:07:55Rabia.
00:07:56No.
00:07:56No whistle underneath.
00:07:58Chased out by Aiden.
00:08:00Referees look at each other.
00:08:01And they point Sacramento's way.
00:08:03The Lakers had another opportunity there.
00:08:06And they missed a little gimme.
00:08:09DeAndre twice.
00:08:10And then the Rabia with the opportunity.
00:08:12Yeah, the Rabia's was easier.
00:08:13Back it in.
00:08:15Back it in.
00:08:16Turning Russ.
00:08:17Not close.
00:08:18Rebound.
00:08:18Aiden with authority.
00:08:20It's good defense by Austin.
00:08:24Force Russ into the air ball.
00:08:26Nine boards.
00:08:27For DeAndre Aiden.
00:08:28He's moving in on a double-double.
00:08:30Reeves fouled.
00:08:32So we're going to have the...
00:08:34How about this?
00:08:35The 32nd and 33rd free throws for the Lakers.
00:08:40Sacramento has shot seven.
00:08:47They're relying more on the perimeter game.
00:08:49And the Lakers are...
00:08:51Especially with Austin getting into the paint.
00:08:53And then again, 12-2 in threes.
00:08:56Those two things out.
00:08:58And everything else is pretty much a rush.
00:09:01Hey, the Lakers are proud to celebrate 50 years of legendary partnership with Toyota.
00:09:0550 years!
00:09:06Toyota has been the exclusive automotive partner since 1976.
00:09:11This Lakers season will honor the Purple and Gold's history with Toyota in the highlight.
00:09:15The collective impact that they bring to Los Angeles.
00:09:18Head to lakers.com slash Toyota dash 50.
00:09:21And you'll learn more.
00:09:23Two free throws by Austin.
00:09:25Lakers pulled it within one.
00:09:29My way!
00:09:30My way!
00:09:30My way!
00:09:31Ross misses.
00:09:35Not abouts.
00:09:40So if we pronounced Chris Manon wrong perhaps.
00:09:45Manyan.
00:09:46We're getting a confirmation on it again.
00:09:49We didn't see him in the preseason.
00:09:50I don't know about you, but I'm on a first-name basis.
00:09:52He and I are close.
00:09:53He and I are close.
00:09:53You can't be wrong.
00:09:57We're still by Chris.
00:09:58That's right.
00:09:59Manyan's got it.
00:10:03And again, what were we talking about?
00:10:05His defensive prowess.
00:10:07A good pass to Ayton coming down the lane, but they strip it away.
00:10:10Oh, sweet.
00:10:13Russ.
00:10:15Corner.
00:10:16Three.
00:10:16Another.
00:10:17Another.
00:10:18Another.
00:10:18Another.
00:10:18Le'Vean.
00:10:20Le'Vean.
00:10:2482-78.
00:10:26Four-point lead, which actually is their biggest lead of the game.
00:10:29Four.
00:10:30Reeves.
00:10:31Inside-out.
00:10:34I'm sure Lakers just seriously in trouble from three-point shooting tonight.
00:10:3813%.
00:10:40That's it.
00:10:41Oh, and finding himself open underneath is Vanderbilt.
00:10:44Vanderbilt.
00:10:45That's because under the cloak of secrecy.
00:10:47Yeah, Le'Vean turned his head and lost complete sight of him.
00:10:50And he just went straight to the rim.
00:10:52He just appeared out of nowhere.
00:10:55Russell walking into the front court.
00:10:59He's attacking 47.
00:11:01Here at Golden 1 Center.
00:11:04We're going to see Rui back in for the Lakers in a moment.
00:11:08He waltzes his way to the scores table, which is right in front of us.
00:11:12Block is down to four.
00:11:13To three.
00:11:14Ruder.
00:11:15Corner is wide open.
00:11:16Wide open, but that's the shot that they want him to take.
00:11:20DeAndre was actually laying off a card while he said, yeah, feel free.
00:11:24Go ahead.
00:11:24And DeAndre gets a much-deserved rest as he heads to the sideline with, what's he got there, 17 points?
00:11:36By the way, Cardwell.
00:11:37Cardwell, all of last year, shot two threes.
00:11:40Maybe that's why he shot two last year.
00:11:45Oh, was that this year?
00:11:46No, it was last year.
00:11:50Reeves.
00:11:51Got it!
00:11:52Yes, sir!
00:11:53Much-needed.
00:11:55Third quarter.
00:11:57Lakers regain the lead, 83-82.
00:11:59Austin up to 28.
00:12:04Back and forth goes Russ.
00:12:06In front, Rui goes right around Rui, but can't finish.
00:12:10Again, not a ton of touch around the rim that time for him, but he'll get free throws.
00:12:16Another look at Austin knocking down that last three-pointer right over the top of the shooter.
00:12:23No Luka, no LeBron, no Jackson Hayes.
00:12:31That's what the Lakers were facing coming in.
00:12:36Again, Luka put up 49.
00:12:38And, to be honest, looked pretty good at the end of that game.
00:12:43And, obviously, the leg and the finger have been bothering him, so he's out being re-evaluated in a week.
00:12:50And, Devin Carter.
00:12:51Yes.
00:12:51Carter.
00:13:00Carter is in the game for Sacramento.
00:13:02Our first look at him.
00:13:04One thing to deny the basketball, but you don't want to foul 93 feet away from the basket when you're in the penalty situation to begin with.
00:13:16There's Carter seeing his first seconds of action this season in the third game.
00:13:24He wanted to get involved.
00:13:26He wanted to make sure he's in the book.
00:13:27Now, this will be free throws number 15 and 16 for Austin.
00:13:39Now, that's his first miss.
00:13:41Was previously 14 for 14.
00:13:47I noticed that you weren't going to be the one to say it.
00:13:49Neither was I.
00:13:50I didn't care.
00:13:50I mean, I don't believe in the jinx.
00:13:51I know you don't.
00:13:52But you still didn't say it.
00:13:54No, I just said it.
00:13:55No.
00:13:55No.
00:13:55No.
00:13:55No.
00:13:55No.
00:13:55No.
00:13:56No.
00:13:56No.
00:13:56No.
00:13:57No one has ever made every free throw they've taken.
00:14:03By the way, Austin's career high, and he's got a great chance to reach it.
00:14:0718 free throws in a game.
00:14:12Three.
00:14:13Long.
00:14:13Weak side.
00:14:14Reeves.
00:14:16Fouled.
00:14:16Again.
00:14:17Same spot.
00:14:20He's going back.
00:14:21Just way too aggressive one.
00:14:24The rebound attempt.
00:14:25Chris Cardwell gets called for the foul.
00:14:28So Austin will go to the free throw line and shoots number 17 and 18.
00:14:34Tied at 84.
00:14:35Drag in the box game.
00:14:37Drag in the box game summary.
00:14:38This is exactly what the Lakers were hoping to see out of DeAndre Ayton when they signed
00:14:44him to a deal.
00:14:45So far so good.
00:14:45So far so good here tonight.
00:14:48Three point field goals.
00:14:49It's been lopsided.
00:14:50It's been one sided.
00:14:5213 to 3.
00:14:54Sacramento.
00:14:55Austin Reeves has been living at the free throw line.
00:14:59In fact, he's going back home.
00:15:01He's going right back to the charity stripe.
00:15:03Right now looking to get 30 and 31 in the point column as DeAndre gets a rest.
00:15:09And again, Gabe Vincent went out of the game and this quarter with an ankle injury and
00:15:15went right back to the locker room.
00:15:16Hopefully he's okay.
00:15:17Back to Austin though.
00:15:19If he makes this free throw, this will tie his career high in makes.
00:15:24And he does.
00:15:25If he makes this one, obviously he's got a new career high.
00:15:28Fouls in the game.
00:15:3019 fouls committed by Sacramento.
00:15:3211 by the Lakers.
00:15:33We've had 16 lead changes and 10 ties.
00:15:36But three throws attempted.
00:15:39Just crazy.
00:15:4137 to 9.
00:15:43Yeah, still with 15 minutes left to play in the game.
00:15:46Could they get to a 50?
00:15:48A 50 piece at the line.
00:15:51They may have to.
00:15:52They're coming back to all these three-pointers.
00:15:54They really might.
00:15:54They're up by two.
00:15:56Hope you're enjoying it.
00:15:57Spectrum Sportsnet or the app.
00:15:59Wherever you may be, Laker basketball.
00:16:02Again, we're with you tomorrow night.
00:16:04730.
00:16:07Marcus Smart picks up the foul as Malik Monk trying to venture into the paint.
00:16:13I mentioned out of Kentucky as there are so many players in today's game.
00:16:18Ninth year for Malik.
00:16:20He had 15 of his 20 points in the second half the other night.
00:16:28And their one-point win over Utah to get into the win column.
00:16:32And it was his miss in the final second that was rebounded and put back by Sabonis for them to win the game.
00:16:3986 all.
00:16:43Let's start anew.
00:16:44With 14 and a half minutes to go.
00:16:48Reeves.
00:16:50Here comes Vando trying to throw it down.
00:16:53That's the way you attack Vando.
00:16:55I give credit for that, huh?
00:16:56Yeah.
00:16:56You're going to go in there.
00:16:58Make sure you're going in for a reason.
00:17:00He splits two defenders and just gets into the paint.
00:17:04Cardwell gets called for the foul.
00:17:05They're reviewing it.
00:17:11They're reviewing it.
00:17:12So.
00:17:14Coach's challenge.
00:17:15Sacramento is challenging the personal foul.
00:17:17The game.
00:17:21They won their last challenge.
00:17:23Yeah, they won.
00:17:24Yeah, they did.
00:17:24Can they go two for two?
00:17:26We'll find out.
00:17:28Tied at 86 in the third.
00:17:30We'll have the results when we come back.
00:17:35Paul on Vanderbilt by Caldwell.
00:17:38So.
00:17:39They've been there a while.
00:17:40So that normally doesn't speak in your favor as he splits those defenders.
00:17:45And where was the contact on the shot attempt?
00:17:48If anything, the left or the right arm of Vandy stuck out there.
00:17:53And it's going to be interesting calling.
00:17:55And the Kings could go two for two.
00:17:58Yeah, the two officials who are there.
00:17:59A lot of staring at the screen and not a lot of conversation.
00:18:02Well, here comes the results.
00:18:06So, a little less action, a little more.
00:18:08A little less conversation.
00:18:09A little more action, please.
00:18:11Let's see what we got.
00:18:16And here we go.
00:18:19After review.
00:18:21Offensive player initiates marginal contact with his off arm as the defender is in a vertical position.
00:18:27Therefore, the call's been overturned to a no-call.
00:18:31In the immediate aftermath, Sacramento obtained possession.
00:18:34So, it'll be Sacramento basketball with 24 in the shot clock.
00:18:392-0.
00:18:40Two for two.
00:18:42And Christie knows what he's doing with his challenges.
00:18:45In his second year, 55 years of age.
00:18:53Where's the time?
00:18:54Here's Russ goes it way up on top of the board.
00:18:57Not your optimal shot attempt right there.
00:19:00Reeves bounced the radio trying to kick it.
00:19:03Finds Van Dove.
00:19:04Got it this time.
00:19:06So, didn't get it the last time.
00:19:07But comes back, says, I deserve that too.
00:19:09Well, you get the missed shot by Westbrook and take it this distance.
00:19:16DeRozan, mid-range.
00:19:19He's the only mid-range uh-oh in the league, right?
00:19:22Yeah.
00:19:23He's definitely an uh-oh from mid-range.
00:19:29Smart.
00:19:30Bouncing off of each other.
00:19:32He and Monk.
00:19:34Marcus, two-hand pass out to Reeves.
00:19:36Oh, it's way for three.
00:19:38Got it!
00:19:40Austin Reeves having fun now.
00:19:42Huge game for Austin Reeves.
00:19:4434.
00:19:4434 big ones.
00:19:4791-88.
00:19:50Lakers have made their last four shots.
00:19:54Reeves.
00:19:55Defense.
00:19:57Offense.
00:19:58Make it 36.
00:19:59That's what happens when you wind up to throw a pass.
00:20:02Austin Reeves was on the deep side.
00:20:05He knew the windup and he made a run for it and just stole the ball easily.
00:20:09Back in court goes Russell Westbrook.
00:20:13DeRozan, mid-range again.
00:20:15And it settles it again.
00:20:18Oh!
00:20:18That's automatic.
00:20:21That's as close to automatic as you're going to get from the hit rank.
00:20:2421 points for both he and Levine.
00:20:28What a game.
00:20:29Been close throughout.
00:20:31Nobody except the Lakers briefly in double digits.
00:20:34Throwing away.
00:20:37Carter.
00:20:38There's Reeves going to take a charge.
00:20:40Going to take a charge.
00:20:42Right there.
00:20:43That's called not having any idea what you're going to do with the basketball.
00:20:48Another look at Austin knocking down the Long Ranger.
00:20:52Just up, up, and away.
00:20:55And then the steal as he takes it right out of Sparks' hands.
00:20:58Never did see.
00:21:03Defensively, what's he do?
00:21:04Stands in, gets run over, and gets the ball back to the Lakers.
00:21:08Austin has made three of the four made threes tonight for the Lakers.
00:21:13He has eight made field goals, but 17 made free throws.
00:21:19Half a minute to play in the third quarter.
00:21:21Garavia.
00:21:27Jake, it's fouled by Monk.
00:21:29What else are we going to see?
00:21:31Another pair of free throws.
00:21:3427 seconds left on the board.
00:21:45Sometimes it's easier said than done,
00:21:47but you've got to learn how to play defense by moving your feet without playing.
00:21:51Just reaching in.
00:21:53You know, they reach in a lot, and that's where the foul is called, generally.
00:21:59And the league stating his case on deaf ears.
00:22:07Lakers will be going into the fourth quarter with the lead.
00:22:1294-90.
00:22:13Well, the Kings are going small.
00:22:16They've got five guards on the floor.
00:22:19For this final possession.
00:22:20Yeah, but I'm saying, you've got to match up.
00:22:24Five guards in this position.
00:22:26See how the Lakers...
00:22:27See, Lakers 15 out of 18.
00:22:30Sorry, Stu from the line in the third.
00:22:33So how they match it up.
00:22:35There's only looks like there's only other zoning.
00:22:37That is definitely a zone.
00:22:40Now the right side bunk with eight to shoot.
00:22:42Trying to recognize what they're going after is DeRozan.
00:22:46Good jumper, not there.
00:22:47Good play by the Lakers.
00:22:48Coaching staff for the players.
00:22:50They have one more shot.
00:22:51No, they don't.
00:22:53Mark in a kind of big days.
00:22:54Marcus Smart tried to split two defenders, and he did with his body, but did take the ball
00:23:01with him, and that's what led to that last turner.
00:23:04But we'll head to the fourth and final.
00:23:08But the Lakers, shorthanded as they are, leading 95-90.
00:23:12It's being brought to you by Jack in the Box.
00:23:23The mastermind behind the Monster Churro, Monster Mozzarella Stick, and Monster Tacos.
00:23:30A lot of noise in the nation's capital.
00:23:33They want to light the beam after this one.
00:23:36Lakers trying to deny them that feat.
00:23:39Russ was the one who did the honors the other night.
00:23:42There's Austin.
00:23:42Stu.
00:23:43Last two games.
00:23:44Boy, he has been really, really good.
00:23:46Those turnovers is what's the most impressive thing, because he's been the primary ball handler
00:23:52all the time almost.
00:23:53So he's really played well.
00:23:55And you can add Golden State into that, too.
00:23:57He had 26 points, 9 assists, versus Golden State, and shot 9 for 16.
00:24:04So all three games.
00:24:07He's been sensational.
00:24:09You've got Saboninson, along with Zach Levine.
00:24:12This is a crucial time for the Lakers, because Austin is not on the floor.
00:24:16So now they need somebody to be able to create some real offense in the half-court set.
00:24:23And Austin has played 30 minutes tonight.
00:24:26Most of any Lakers.
00:24:27Not just smart misses.
00:24:28Now Levine really pushing the pace.
00:24:33Westbrook in the corner.
00:24:37Setting a pick is Sabonis.
00:24:38Russ is going to come out the other side.
00:24:40Now it's literally on beat.
00:24:41A big, he shoots over Aiden.
00:24:46That's Russell Westbrook.
00:24:48Yeah, and then a second to say to the Laker bench.
00:24:50Four three-pointer, because they were probably telling him, you can't make that.
00:24:52Yeah.
00:24:53He has the most threes on their team tonight.
00:24:57Stolen five.
00:24:58Aiden has going to be a foul on DeAndre.
00:25:00They're going to lobby for a flagrant, I'm sure.
00:25:09Flat-angled pass.
00:25:11Yeah, he might get it, too.
00:25:12There's no question that there was a foul call on the play.
00:25:15Now the officials are huddled up.
00:25:16They're going to review to see if it's maybe like a clear path or anything.
00:25:23It could be a flagrant.
00:25:24Fouls under further review to see if it meets the criteria for a flagrant.
00:25:27Yep.
00:25:30Any time you foul somebody in and around the head of the face,
00:25:35you're in dangerous territory of picking one up.
00:25:42Dang, you know, all those times I got my nose broke, I couldn't be shooting three throws?
00:25:45Yes, how many times?
00:25:46Seven?
00:25:46How many?
00:25:47Four.
00:25:48Where'd you get seven from?
00:25:50Man.
00:25:50Oh, my God.
00:25:51I've told you a million times about exaggerating.
00:25:5397-95.
00:26:02We've had 20 lead changes tonight.
00:26:06We've got a moment.
00:26:08So how about this right now from Morongo?
00:26:11Watch football everywhere you eat, stay, and play.
00:26:14Morongo, good times.
00:26:16You know, it's funny.
00:26:19We've got a second, and we've been talking about free throws and the difference in free throws.
00:26:24You know, just to put it in perspective, Lakers tonight have shot how many free throws, Stu?
00:26:2939?
00:26:30That's a lot.
00:26:31That's a lot.
00:26:32That's a lot.
00:26:33It's the most, though, since February of 2025.
00:26:36So recently they shot 46 against Minnesota.
00:26:39But the most the Laker team has ever shot in a game is 74 back in 1964.
00:26:49And they only made 37 of them.
00:26:51What's going on?
00:26:52I've got to find out who was on that roster.
00:26:5574.
00:26:56You know, the only good thing about this delay with this, as they review this, it gets Austin
00:27:02more time rested on the bench without the clock moving because he can't stay over there very
00:27:08long because they just don't have the same creator often, you know, in the half-court
00:27:12set without Austin on the floor.
00:27:15Like we said, it's just clear as day that he's the man in charge when he's out there.
00:27:21And he fits in seamlessly, of course, when the other two stars, LeBron and Luka, are out
00:27:27there, too.
00:27:28I mean, it's just, you've had some good chemistry.
00:27:34Come on, guys.
00:27:35You need to make up your mind.
00:27:37Either it is or it isn't.
00:27:40Seriously.
00:27:40You want to know something?
00:27:41Every single person watching this game is in agreement with you.
00:27:45I mean.
00:27:47Everyone.
00:27:48If it's that close, then do you change the call?
00:27:50And, you know, I don't know.
00:27:52It's just that, you know, these delays really take the rhythm out of a game.
00:27:55I mean, this is a long review.
00:28:00Yeah, it really is.
00:28:01But again, as you said, to the benefit of Austin Reeves, but not to the benefit of us
00:28:05feds.
00:28:06You got Marcus Smart and DeMar DeRozan in front of us having some fun, yapping back and
00:28:11forth at each other.
00:28:15Those two have gone at each other a lot in their career.
00:28:19I keep talking about how this aids Austin because he's just had himself quite an all-around
00:28:28game tonight.
00:28:29You know, we know about his scoring with 36, eight assists, seven rebounds.
00:28:35Picked up a few defensive plays.
00:28:37The defender commits unnecessary contact to the face with his hand with a high degree
00:28:44of impact.
00:28:45Therefore, it's been a flagrant foul penalty one.
00:28:47Sacramento inbound with 24 in the shot clock.
00:28:50Kind of what we expected, actually.
00:28:52It took that long to come up with that, though.
00:28:54Seriously.
00:28:56We saw that on the replay.
00:28:58We really did.
00:28:58I mean, it was a good hustle try by Ayton, but again, any time you get your hand in and
00:29:08around the head or the face and make contact, it's reliable to pick one up.
00:29:14Yeah, and what led to that was, you know, the angle of the pass.
00:29:17Flat-angle passes, they're just flat and dangerous.
00:29:21And as DeAndre is saying right now, ball don't lie.
00:29:25That's his comment right now.
00:29:28Keyon Ellis.
00:29:341-2.
00:29:36Do they get the ball out of bounds?
00:29:39Lakers are down by three.
00:29:42We are early, early in the fourth quarter.
00:29:45We got more basketball tomorrow, Stu.
00:29:48Thank you, Bill.
00:29:48Crypto.com Arena.
00:29:51Portland in town to take on the late show.
00:29:55Now, how he hit the ball.
00:29:58All right, two team fouls on the Lakers.
00:30:09Kings, you have yet to give it a foul here in the first couple of minutes.
00:30:12Sacramento on a 10-2 run if you want to bridge it back to the third quarter.
00:30:16And we'll do that.
00:30:17Levine.
00:30:21Pull-up jumper.
00:30:22Short.
00:30:23Oh, good rebound by Westbrook.
00:30:25That was a good rebound.
00:30:26Ellis corner.
00:30:29They're going to get another chance.
00:30:32Three in a row.
00:30:33Lakers survive.
00:30:34Here comes Marcus.
00:30:38Smart.
00:30:38Smartly has control of it.
00:30:42Underneath.
00:30:42Scores!
00:30:43Marcus!
00:30:44And here comes Austin off the bench.
00:30:48They dodged that three attempt possession.
00:30:50Yeah, they did.
00:30:52It's a bonus with him at three point.
00:30:53Got her.
00:30:57Contributed very little tonight except for 11 rebounds.
00:31:00But he just hangs around that rim.
00:31:01He's going to get him.
00:31:03He's only played 21 minutes.
00:31:05He's had foul difficulties.
00:31:0715 threes.
00:31:0815!
00:31:10Oh, stumbling, rumbling.
00:31:12Nearly fumbling.
00:31:13Now they do, but Jake LaRavia's got it.
00:31:16He hangs out to Rui.
00:31:17Wide open is Dalton.
00:31:18Knock it down, Dalton.
00:31:19Come on.
00:31:20To short.
00:31:21DeRozan runs into a trio of Laker defenders.
00:31:29Rubin!
00:31:32Great atmosphere here right now.
00:31:33Oh, is he standing on the line?
00:31:35Yep, he was!
00:31:36That short corner three.
00:31:37Not a lot of real estate between the three-point line and the sideline.
00:31:42Turnover.
00:31:43Each team with 14 turnovers.
00:31:47Lakers have turned Sacramento's turnovers into 19 points.
00:31:53Conversely, Kings have 18 points off of Laker turnovers.
00:31:58Like I said, a lot of those stats are similar, just like that one.
00:32:03Here's Reeves.
00:32:068 tries to set up.
00:32:07Poster got it again.
00:32:09Walks in the game and knocked out a triple.
00:32:11He is big time.
00:32:1539 points.
00:32:17He's got four to five Laker threes.
00:32:24That's a foul on the Lakers.
00:32:25That will be their third already of the quarter.
00:32:28And we played just over three minutes.
00:32:31One-point game.
00:32:32Another look at the Jake LaRavia foul here.
00:32:38Yeah, Jake's saying the official,
00:32:40where do you want me to go?
00:32:41By the way, the Lakers do have a challenge.
00:32:43Three minutes.
00:32:44Sacramento does not.
00:32:45These two teams will meet next December 28th at Crypto.com.
00:32:54Then we'll meet in January and in March, once again, in Los Angeles.
00:32:58So, Russ misses.
00:33:04Remains 101-100.
00:33:05Missed them both.
00:33:17Missed them both.
00:33:19And Andre Aiton with the sure hands.
00:33:23Andre Aiton double-double tonight.
00:33:2517 and 11.
00:33:27Reeves is 39, 8, and 7.
00:33:30Hello.
00:33:32Austin's got it again.
00:33:33Pull-off.
00:33:34Does he have another?
00:33:35Give me another.
00:33:37He's cooking.
00:33:38He's cooking.
00:33:40Woo!
00:33:40103-101.
00:33:44And the Laker fans, who there are many here tonight, making themselves known.
00:33:52Clear high is 45.
00:33:54He got that against Indiana last February.
00:33:57I mean, this last basket, I mean, this is just flat out, I know I'm hot.
00:34:03He just goes to his left, stops and pops, and knocks it down.
00:34:11Vanderbilt picks up his fourth foul.
00:34:15Still has two to give.
00:34:16And, by the way, the next foul, Sacramento will be in the bonus.
00:34:20Not good with 8-11 to play in the game.
00:34:22Well, we've got a timeout, as you mentioned.
00:34:248-11 still to play here in the fourth.
00:34:27And a barn burner, as they call them.
00:34:29Lakers by two.
00:34:32The player illegally clamps and pulls up, committing illegal contact.
00:34:37Therefore, the call's been overturned to an offensive foul.
00:34:41The challenge is successful.
00:34:42An opportunity will remain for L.A. to have a second challenge.
00:34:46Well, you heard the officials talk about the challenge was successful
00:34:50by the Lakers as Sabonis is called for an offensive foul,
00:34:54utilizing the old locked arms from the underneath position.
00:34:58So Sabonis picks up the foul, and the Lakers get possession.
00:35:02And that's Sabonis' fifth foul, one away from elimination.
00:35:06Michael, what you got?
00:35:08Update on Gabe?
00:35:09Yeah, no surprise, Billy.
00:35:10He's out for the rest of the game.
00:35:11That ankle that he turned in the third quarter.
00:35:14Lakers sort of survived those minutes.
00:35:16Start the fourth as Aiden gets in again.
00:35:18And now, Austin Reeves back in the game, Billy.
00:35:21And certainly, they've got that creation back that maybe wasn't there
00:35:23at the start of the quarter.
00:35:24There you go.
00:35:25Four out of the five Lakers starters are in double figures.
00:35:3010-3 Laker run.
00:35:34Pulling up short rebound.
00:35:35And Vando had it momentarily, but it's taken out by DeRozan, leans in.
00:35:39Boy, Drew Ayer that time.
00:35:42Oh, his specialty, the mid-range.
00:35:45And kind of a lean-in shot, LaRavia's going to come in.
00:35:48By the way, this quarter, the Lakers, or rather, the second half,
00:35:52they've made four threes.
00:35:53That doubles up their total from the first half.
00:35:56And Marcus is limping a little bit as he goes to the bench.
00:36:01By the way, Austin, five for eight from three.
00:36:04The rest of the team, one for 13.
00:36:07And Marcus Smart has played 30 minutes tonight, so.
00:36:11Yeah, they're working on that knee area.
00:36:16He's been an integral part of this game for the Lakers tonight.
00:36:20Well, he goes back to the locker room, too.
00:36:27Wow.
00:36:33I think he's getting in the bike in the tunnel.
00:36:36He's right there by Mike Trudeau.
00:36:38He's got a good look at what's going on over there.
00:36:41Levine.
00:36:43It's a three by DeMar.
00:36:45Rebound reads.
00:36:47What else you want Austin to do?
00:36:49Well, he's got eight rebounds.
00:36:50Eight assists and 42 points.
00:36:58Ruiz started the game.
00:37:00Hot.
00:37:01Goes back from 10.
00:37:04You know, that's, since that first quarter,
00:37:06that's Ruiz, technically that's Ruiz's third shot.
00:37:10On an end.
00:37:11The first, Lakers were really good defensively that time.
00:37:14Right around the rim.
00:37:15We're under seven minutes to go.
00:37:17Nice win here.
00:37:19The first road game of the year.
00:37:22A lot of road games coming up again.
00:37:23Nine out of 12 on the road.
00:37:25Reaves!
00:37:26It's that night, man.
00:37:28Reaves!
00:37:28There's some nights with the bass that looks as big as a swimming pool.
00:37:34Another night, it looks like a thimble.
00:37:35It's a lake tonight.
00:37:39Give it in!
00:37:41So, Austin has tied his career five.
00:37:44Career five.
00:37:45Career high at 45.
00:37:48Lakers, most importantly, 108-104.
00:37:54Austin.
00:37:54How hot is it?
00:37:56Oh, he's ultra.
00:37:57He's gonna be in second shot.
00:37:59Well, he's losing it.
00:38:00Lakers fortune.
00:38:01Arabia, open corner.
00:38:03Rui.
00:38:04Five to shoot.
00:38:05Hachimura going for the win.
00:38:07Pull up.
00:38:08Rui in the lane!
00:38:10Good recognition, Rui.
00:38:12Shot clock winding down.
00:38:13Go to work.
00:38:18Lakers have up the lead to six.
00:38:21Levine trying it again.
00:38:23Rolls around, comes out.
00:38:24Hachimura comes up with his fourth rebound.
00:38:27Making it's third.
00:38:29Reaves in control of things.
00:38:33Slowly, surely, still with it.
00:38:35They're gonna double up on him.
00:38:36So, Aiden kind of rolling until he throws the hoop.
00:38:39That's actually wonderful.
00:38:41That's his.
00:38:41He has to throw it down, big fella.
00:38:44That's a good, just good second effort by DeAndre.
00:38:491-12, 1-0-4.
00:38:51I think he's trying to create a little space.
00:38:55With more than halfway through the quarter.
00:38:58Russ reverse!
00:39:01Off the bench tonight.
00:39:0226 minutes.
00:39:04Good change of direction by Russ.
00:39:06They thought he was gonna come to the top, and he goes baseline.
00:39:0818 points for him.
00:39:11Reeves got a pick by Aiden.
00:39:12Again, there's doubling up on Austin.
00:39:14The Ravia over to Van Doe.
00:39:17They're gonna work the perimeter.
00:39:195-2.
00:39:20Austin, good bounce to Rui.
00:39:22Great bounce to Rui.
00:39:23One hand jam.
00:39:25Assist to Reeves.
00:39:26And the Lakers lead it by 8.
00:39:29Well, that's because Austin is drawing so much attention.
00:39:32Everybody's trying to get to him, and that's freeing up other people.
00:39:36Rui, the recipient of an absolute gimme.
00:39:40And the Lakers are up 1-14.
00:39:41One of our night at home, then at the Wolves and Grizzlies on a quick trip.
00:39:46Back home against the Heat, then back out on the road against Portland.
00:39:51Austin Reeves does.
00:39:52What a second half.
00:39:53What a game he's had, but especially here in the all-important second half.
00:39:57I mean, he's got steals.
00:39:58He's drawing so much attention.
00:40:00It's making it easier for others.
00:40:02But offensively, he's been on fire.
00:40:06I mean, he just has that feeling tonight.
00:40:08Because he's en route to a spectacular game.
00:40:13He's got 45 points, 9 assists, and 8 rebounds.
00:40:17It's about as good a game as you can play.
00:40:19It really is, when you think about it.
00:40:21I've seen a lot of guys have 40-point games.
00:40:23No assists.
00:40:24Yes.
00:40:25Two rebounds.
00:40:26I mean, he's doing it all.
00:40:28All right, final five minutes.
00:40:31We've entered it.
00:40:32It's being brought to you by Morongo Casino Resort and Spa.
00:40:37Importantly now, the Lakers are up by 8.
00:40:40Got to continue the momentum.
00:40:43Turnover by Schroeder, so Lakers get possession here.
00:40:46I mean, what an effort without the top two scores.
00:40:50All of it, or a lot of it, not all of it, but a lot of it has to do with this guy with the basketball.
00:40:56Again, the Lakers have four and double figures.
00:40:57Here's Hachimura.
00:40:59Gets it knocked away for a moment.
00:41:02Out to Arabia.
00:41:03Jake's got it!
00:41:05That's why they signed him, knocking down threes.
00:41:08He got himself one there.
00:41:11Biggest lead of the game.
00:41:12And it comes with 4-0-7 to go.
00:41:17Schroeder answers.
00:41:18Big answer.
00:41:19Real big answer.
00:41:22They continue as a team to shoot the ball well from behind the yard.
00:41:26Reeves in his 36th minute of action.
00:41:29On the cusp of a possible triple-double.
00:41:31But again, the leader of this team, O'Hachimura, but they get it right back.
00:41:37Aiden underneath finds Rui.
00:41:39We got a whistle.
00:41:40Three seconds.
00:41:41Wow, they do call three seconds in the NBA.
00:41:45There was an obvious one earlier that they didn't call.
00:41:48Another look at Jake LaRavia knocking down the three and put the Lakers up by their largest margin.
00:41:57Nice open shot.
00:41:59Now they got 343 to rely on their defense more.
00:42:03Keep this Kings team down off the scoreboard.
00:42:07Again, the Kings have 17 made threes.
00:42:10It's in their DNA tonight.
00:42:12Levine tries again.
00:42:13There's an old-fashioned three-point opportunity.
00:42:17Fourth foul on DeAndre.
00:42:21No lead is safe in the NBA.
00:42:23Just like that.
00:42:24It could be down to five.
00:42:28Just off the dribble.
00:42:29Gets into the paint.
00:42:31Gets contact from DeAndre.
00:42:33The old traditional three-point play as the Lakers.
00:42:36Lakers take a timeout.
00:42:42L.A. is challenging the personal foul called on the play.
00:42:46Might as well, right?
00:42:47I guess you can.
00:42:48Take it with you.
00:42:5017-11.
00:42:51Lakers challenging.
00:42:52Might be tough to overturn this one.
00:42:55I don't know.
00:42:55What do you think, Stu?
00:42:56Yeah, it's going to be tough, I think, because right there's the contact.
00:42:59Yeah.
00:42:59So I think the call on the floor is going to stand.
00:43:04And now let's see how is the bonus.
00:43:06Going to get called for pushing DeAndre into the driver, Zach Levine.
00:43:11We'll have to wait and see what the officials finally come up with.
00:43:14They're still reviewing it.
00:43:16If that happens, the bonus will be out of the game.
00:43:19And caught in the cookie jar there, if that's the case.
00:43:21And the verdict is forthcoming.
00:43:40Dramatic.
00:43:41Just drama.
00:43:42Just drama.
00:43:43After review, the offensive player, Sabonis, places his hands on the back of the offensive
00:43:49player, but does not commit any illegal contact.
00:43:52Ayton voluntarily steps forward from point A to point B and delivers illegal contact.
00:43:57Therefore, the challenge is unsuccessful.
00:44:00The call stands.
00:44:02And it'll be one shot.
00:44:06Well, we tried to walk you through it.
00:44:08And that's exactly what happened.
00:44:09Although you could argue that Sabonis could have been, should have been, or been called for
00:44:18the foul.
00:44:18But obviously that contact was made.
00:44:21Levine trying to complete the three-point play.
00:44:25And does.
00:44:26He's got a five-point game here with three and a half left.
00:44:31Boy, just want to look like it was safe to go back in the water, right?
00:44:34117-112.
00:44:38Austin Reed's been a monster.
00:44:41Out to Vando.
00:44:42Good one.
00:44:44And one.
00:44:46That's a good slip screen there.
00:44:48He did a good job of giving it up and like almost setting the screen with Austin, then slide
00:44:53to the rim.
00:44:54And Vandy with the delivery.
00:44:57Look at that.
00:44:57Nice play.
00:44:59Three-point opportunity coming to Jake LaRavia.
00:45:04That's Vando's second assist.
00:45:07For the Lakers tonight, 25 assists on their 38 made baskets.
00:45:14Paint points now.
00:45:15Lakers are a plus 10.
00:45:18And Jake knocks it down.
00:45:20Six straight points for Jake LaRavia in crunch time.
00:45:25Somebody's going to have to do it because you know they're trying to take the ball out of Austin's hands.
00:45:34Kings know they can't fool around.
00:45:36Schroeder scooped.
00:45:37No tap.
00:45:38Good.
00:45:38Another rebound, but he's still in single digits and points.
00:45:48Reeves directing traffic.
00:45:51Got Ellis right on his hip.
00:45:52Is that arm straight?
00:45:53That'd be a hand check.
00:45:54You can't have a straight arm when you have your hand on the offensive player.
00:45:58Reeves trying to create a little space.
00:46:01Long three.
00:46:08Levine.
00:46:08Well, they're crowding Levine now.
00:46:14Schroeder.
00:46:1512 to shoot.
00:46:16Two and a half to play.
00:46:17All the way to the win.
00:46:18And the quickness of Schroeder.
00:46:20He goes right around the defender.
00:46:23Right around him.
00:46:24For the easy bucket.
00:46:26And it's a four-point Laker lead.
00:46:28You got Sabonis on range.
00:46:34Now it's LaRavia.
00:46:35Oh, yeah.
00:46:36Is that thrown straight out of bounds or was it deflected?
00:46:38It was deflected.
00:46:39I thought so, too.
00:46:43Eight on to 24.
00:46:44Two minutes and nine seconds in the fourth.
00:46:47A four-point game.
00:46:48Eight to shoot.
00:46:50That's the important number.
00:46:52Rui.
00:46:53He's on there with LaRavia.
00:46:54Vando, Aiton, and Austin.
00:46:56Jake's got to get it in.
00:46:59He's got to get it in.
00:47:00He just did.
00:47:02Just did on the last beat.
00:47:04Rui's the four with three to shoot.
00:47:06Throws it up and in.
00:47:08He looked that one off.
00:47:10I know.
00:47:10He was looking one way, then it was hanging in the air forever.
00:47:13No panic.
00:47:14Throw it in.
00:47:15No panic at all in Austin.
00:47:16Career high for Austin Rui's 47.
00:47:20He's trying to catch Luka from the other night.
00:47:23Long.
00:47:23What a pass.
00:47:25That's great.
00:47:25They deny LaRavia, and Sabana steals it.
00:47:28What a play by Schroeder.
00:47:30Whoa, coming all the way back after a brilliant outlet that time by Reeves.
00:47:35Fighting LaRavia in stride.
00:47:38Levine, yes!
00:47:39Three-point game!
00:47:43One possession game.
00:47:46What a big switch that was.
00:47:47The two that the Lakers didn't get on the block by Schroeder, and the three from Levine.
00:47:52They battled back, they being Sacramento from an 11-point deficit.
00:47:58They're chasing Austin all over the floor.
00:48:01He throws it into the corner.
00:48:02Touch pass for Rui.
00:48:04Rui back to Jage.
00:48:05Corner three.
00:48:06Not by.
00:48:07Rebound Sabanis.
00:48:09Approaching a minute.
00:48:11They can tie it with this shot right here.
00:48:14Reeves with the rebound.
00:48:15T-shirt!
00:48:19T-shirt!
00:48:21T-shirt!
00:48:24T-shirt!
00:48:25Austin Reeves is an assist away from one of the great triple-doubles you'll ever see.
00:48:30He gets knocked down.
00:48:32LaRavia.
00:48:33Rui has some more.
00:48:36Goes baseline.
00:48:37Too far under.
00:48:38Ayton saves it.
00:48:39But the shot shot runs out.
00:48:42Did the ball hit the rim, though, on the shot by the radio?
00:48:44I think that's what J.J. is saying.
00:48:48Did it hit the bottom of the board?
00:48:50Or did it hit the bottom of the rim?
00:48:51It has to hit the part of the rim.
00:48:53Yeah, of course.
00:48:53The board doesn't matter.
00:48:54Here it is.
00:48:57Bichels are unreasonably certain if the ball made contact with the rim.
00:49:00The play is under further view.
00:49:01That might have hit the rim.
00:49:02I don't know if it matters.
00:49:04All they have to do is touch the rim.
00:49:07Because it's going to be tough to see from that angle.
00:49:12Just any part of the rim.
00:49:16Oh, yeah.
00:49:17Easy play to call.
00:49:18It hits the rim.
00:49:20Yeah, the Lakers will be very fortunate here.
00:49:23Great call coming in.
00:49:24J.J., he wasn't going to let that one stand.
00:49:27He basically ran on the court.
00:49:29This should be a quick review.
00:49:30Don't.
00:49:31Come on.
00:49:31When was the last time you saw a quick review?
00:49:33I'm going to tell you right now.
00:49:33A quick review.
00:49:34This should be a quick.
00:49:34Look at that.
00:49:35How obvious is that?
00:49:37Come on.
00:49:38You've been around long enough to know.
00:49:39I know.
00:49:40I know.
00:49:44122-119.
00:49:46There's only 38 seconds left.
00:49:47And, again, mention, Austin Reeves is an assist away from an absolutely ridiculous triple-double.
00:49:57Yes.
00:49:58When you've got 47, you're going to triple-double to boot.
00:50:02Yeah.
00:50:02Yeah, that's...
00:50:03That's all around.
00:50:06And he's on, what, played 38 minutes?
00:50:09Seems like he's been out there the whole game, you know?
00:50:12But he's...
00:50:12And, again, was benefited by that long review.
00:50:15And only two turnovers.
00:50:20And only had one last game.
00:50:22You see what they put on the shot clock here, because this has to be...
00:50:28After review, replay official rules, the ball did contact the rim.
00:50:32Therefore, the game clock will be reset to when Aiton possesses the ball in the lane at 40.6.
00:50:38Lakers ball side out on the sideline.
00:50:4114 on the shot clock.
00:50:42There you go.
00:50:43You spell it out.
00:50:44This is an understatement of the year.
00:50:47Enormous possession here.
00:50:48It's only your first game back.
00:50:50Go ahead.
00:50:50Enormous possession here, because a three-point game, the Lakers can scratch here.
00:50:56It's quite a bit of pressure on the Kings.
00:51:03Lakers with the LaRabia smart.
00:51:07Achimura, Reeves, and Aiton.
00:51:09You got Sabonis, Schroeder, DeRozan, Ellis, and Levine for Sacramento.
00:51:14Oh, I don't like where they're taking the ball out about it.
00:51:17That's one of the worst places to try to get an inbounds pass.
00:51:21Marcus Smart, the veteran, will have it.
00:51:24Marcus Smart looking and does get it in to LaRabia.
00:51:29Again, remember, there's only 14 to shoot.
00:51:32Marcus Smart with seven, with six.
00:51:35Leaves underneath, gets fouled.
00:51:37Now, 32 seconds left in the game.
00:51:45Lakers are up by three with two free throws coming.
00:51:48Wow, did he get away with anything there on the outside?
00:51:53Doesn't matter.
00:51:55Doesn't matter.
00:51:56Reeves is shooting again.
00:51:58Ellis, by the way, is out of the game.
00:52:01He has fouled out for Sacramento.
00:52:04Reeves is going to wind up shooting 19 and 20 free throws.
00:52:09Coming up right here.
00:52:13This will be a career high in attempts with this one.
00:52:19Three-point Laker lead.
00:52:21As Stu mentioned, 32.1 remaining.

00:52:43Lakers cannot commit a three-point shot foul, give up a three-pointer.
00:52:48Because all the pressure is on the Kings now.
00:52:52Down by five.
00:52:5413 points in the fourth quarter for Austin Reeves.
00:53:00Schroeder all the way.
00:53:02Can't score!
00:53:03Lakers in great shape.
00:53:04Lakers in great shape.
00:53:06They foul Reeves.
00:53:07He's going to be shooting a free throw for a 50-piece.
00:53:11That's amazing.
00:53:12Really, that's amazing.
00:53:14You've got to give so much credit to this Laker unit tonight.
00:53:16But, you know, I mean, as shorthanded as they came into this game
00:53:22without LeBron and Luka,
00:53:24they come out and they put in the work from the very tip.
00:53:31They put in the work as Austin knocks down a nickel.
00:53:35What a masterful performance tonight.
00:53:3850-piece.
00:53:4150-10-9 and just two turnovers.
00:53:45But he's got 50 on only 22 shot attempts.
00:53:48Oh, 22 free throw attempts.
00:53:51That's impressive.
00:53:52We've already had a few 50-point games in the league.
00:53:57Early in week number one, they knocked it away from Levine.
00:54:02He's going to go back and get it.
00:54:04There's only 13 seconds left, and the Lakers are up by seven.
00:54:07They're going to win this game.
00:54:08What a win.
00:54:09What a win.
00:54:10It's only game number three, and it's the first road game.
00:54:13What a nice, solid, and we'll go ahead and say it.
00:54:17Unexpected win for the Lakers.
00:54:19This is just a remarkable effort by this team.
00:54:24And that man right there.
00:54:25I mean, sure, he was a major part of it,
00:54:28but, you know, I like the effort that everybody gave,
00:54:31especially Aiden against the bonus.
00:54:33Aiden with 21 and 14.
00:54:35Marcus Smart, his toughness, his professionalism,
00:54:38Hachimura started the game.
00:54:40Yeah, Ruiz's got 18.
00:54:41Yeah.
00:54:42It's just been a great team effort.
00:54:45By the way, Jake LaRavia sneaks into the double-digit category, too, with 11.
00:54:55Super impressive victory tonight.
00:54:57No Luka, no LeBron.
00:54:59Jax wasn't available.
00:55:01And with only seven seconds,
00:55:03all you have to do is make sure you get the inbounds pass.
00:55:05They're going to probably foul,
00:55:07but just make sure you don't throw the inbounds pass away.
00:55:10These teams will meet three more times.
00:55:16Remember, they swept Sacramento last year.
00:55:19There's the quick foul.
00:55:20DeAndre Ayton, 15 boards for the big fella.
00:55:24And 21 points.
00:55:27And a good solid 10 out of 17 from the floor.
00:55:31What an effort.
00:55:33And he's going to get a chance to add to his point total.
00:55:38Well, stick around for the postgame show.
00:55:40If you're ever going to stick around, this is a great night to do it.
00:55:42You'll hear from everybody involved.
00:55:46And by the way, Stu, what do you want to do?
00:55:49Let's give away the tacos.
00:55:50Way to go out on a limb.
00:55:51You should have done it two minutes ago.
00:55:56Your Lakers are going to win the game.
00:55:57You win two free tacos with any drink purchase from Drunk in the Box tomorrow.
00:56:01Just ask for the Lakers deal when you order valid only at L.A. area restaurants.
00:56:05Who gets them?
00:56:06Everybody.
00:56:07That's right, they do.
00:56:08Go Lakers and go Jax.
00:56:104.3 seconds.
00:56:11Kings down by seven.
00:56:13Take a timeout.
00:56:161-27, 1-20.
00:56:18Lakers, go ahead and celebrate.
00:56:19Having some fun with Austin Reeves.
00:56:25Go ahead and smile, Austin.
00:56:26We'll hear from Austin right after this is over.
00:56:30Mike will be visiting with him.
00:56:321-27, 1-20.
00:56:33So, don't go anywhere.
00:56:3522 free throw attempts, 22 field goal attempts.
00:56:41This one shot up by Schroeder.
00:56:44And Austin gets another rebound.
00:56:46So, he'll end with 51-11-9.
00:56:50And his teammates, they love him right now.
00:56:53What an effort.
00:56:54What an effort by AR tonight.
00:56:58Yeah, he gets a lot of credit.
00:57:00But you got to credit this whole team.
00:57:02Oh, of course.
00:57:02I mean, this is, this is.
00:57:05Quite a, quite an effort.
00:57:08Led by that man.
00:57:09Yeah, five players in double figures.
00:57:12A couple of players in double-digit rebounds.
00:57:14Look at Zach Levine.
00:57:16Respect.
00:57:17Right there.
00:57:18When the Lakers win, they go 2-1 on the year.
00:57:20And by the way, we have a game tomorrow.
00:57:22We got a game tomorrow.
00:57:26Dayton.
00:57:27Solid.
00:57:27Every day.
00:57:28More than solid.
00:57:29It's like baseball.
00:57:30You play every day.
00:57:31Let's play every day.
00:57:32What an entertaining night if you're a Laker fan.
00:57:41And by the way, welcome back, Stu.
00:57:44Let's check in with Mike Trudell, the star of the game.
00:57:48All right, Austin.
00:57:48As somebody that likes to defer credit and give your teammates credit,
00:57:52it looked like they weren't going to allow it there.
00:57:53They just surround you, give you the basketball.
00:57:56What does that moment feel like for you?
00:57:58It means a lot.
00:57:59You know, we play basketball for those moments, moments for team success.
00:58:04And, you know, these guys have, you know, we hang out 90% of the time together.
00:58:08Like, a lot of people don't realize that, that you're on the road so much,
00:58:12you're in the gym so much, that these people literally become family.
00:58:14And, you know, I go to war for them any day.
00:58:18So, for them to treat me like that, they're special.
00:58:21I mean, we're down Luka, down Bron tonight, Jackson as well.
00:58:25And it could have been very easy for us to come in here and lay down.
00:58:28And, you know, that's not what, you know, the coaching staff has instilled at all.
00:58:31So, it was real special.
00:58:33All right, so the other Lakers since the year 2000 just score 50 points.
00:58:37It's Kobe, it's Shaq, it's LeBron, and it's AD.
00:58:40Having your name with that kind of a list, your kid from Arkansas, it's kind of fun.
00:58:44Yeah, I mean, I don't, I don't deserve all that, but.
00:58:48Just a fact that you scored 50, that's all.
00:58:50I did.
00:58:51I mean, but, you know, I grew up watching all those guys and, you know, I ain't got no words.
00:58:58Some of the best players to ever play the game.
00:59:01You could have gotten one more assist, though, to get a triple-double.
00:59:03I thought Jake was going to go dunk the one.
00:59:05He let Dennis block him, so I'm going to give him some shit about that.
00:59:08But, no, I mean, all that matters is we won, and we got another tough one tomorrow night.
00:59:13So, it's a quick turnaround, and, you know, we'll be back at it.
00:59:15Stu was talking on the broadcast about the fact you only had two turnovers, though,
00:59:18and this is after having one last game.
00:59:20I know J.J. made that a point of emphasis, but to be on the ball that much, no Luka, no LeBron,
00:59:25how important was that to take care of it?
00:59:27Very.
00:59:27I think the two turnovers come in the first six minutes of the game, too.
00:59:31You know, going into games, you know, like tonight, I was going to have to be a little
00:59:37more aggressive without those guys, and, you know, that's a main focal point.
00:59:40You know, I can get loose with the ball every now and then, and just to be able to give
00:59:43our, you know, team the best opportunity to score on every possession is what we needed,
00:59:48and, you know, everybody, you know, chipped in tonight.
00:59:50DA played amazing.
00:59:51You know, we had a lot of really good performances.
00:59:53Thanks, Austin.
00:59:54We'll let you go.
00:59:54You probably have to field a lot of text messages tonight.
00:59:57I might not respond, so if I don't, I'm sorry.
00:59:59We'll let you go.
