The search for sustained consistency remained a focus for the Lakers on Sunday against a Sacramento Kings team with the NBA’s worst record. And it helped that the Lakers were completely healthy against the Kings, something that has eluded them nearly all season. Behind strong efforts from Luka Doncic and LeBron James, the Lakers defeated the struggling Kings 128-104 at Crypto.com Arena in their second straight blowout win. Doncic, one of five Lakers to score in double figures, scored 28 points on 10-for-16 shooting. But Doncic regained his balance and the ball before shooting an off-balance three-pointer that gave the Lakers a 24-point lead.
