Summary
The Lakers went up big on the Kings early, but then got severely outplayed when the Kings leveraged their athleticism and speed on the perimeter to great effect on both sides of the ball. Pete, Mike, and Darius discuss the loss, how the Lakers did not have answers for De'Aaron Fox and Malik Monk, the team's schematic approach defensively to dealing with Sacramento's offense, Anthony Davis' rough night, and much more.

| 0:00.0 | What do you think about the Laker team now? |
| 0:03.0 | You follow the box scores of the games every day? |
| 0:06.0 | Just the Lakers. |
| 0:07.0 | You're kidding. |
| 0:08.0 | That is really a compliment. |
| 0:10.0 | I was pleased to see you smile at the top bar show because once the game starts, you have a game face. |
| 0:17.0 | You don't smile much out there. |
| 0:20.0 | I don't think you have to do things for money |
| 0:22.4 | anymore. Correct. What's up, Laker fans? Welcome to the Laker Film Room podcast. I'm Pete, joined by |
| 0:27.1 | Darius and Mike. And last night, Sacramento Kings took it to the Lakers. It was a royal beatdown. |
| 0:33.3 | But it didn't start that way. Lakers jumped out to a 19 point lead in that game in the first quarter. |
| 0:38.5 | And then they were still up 19 with under two minutes left in that first quarter. |
| 0:42.7 | Big Tenno run changes the game at the end of that first. |
| 0:46.3 | And then they continue that into a second quarter, 44 to 20, I think the score was in that second quarter in favor of Sacramento. |
| 0:55.5 | They hit 13 straight shots at one point. De Aaron Fox scored 44 points. He had, I think, 32 points in the paint, |
| 1:01.5 | which is just an unbelievable number. I want to get to that specifically a little bit later. |
| 1:05.6 | Malik Monk, when he checked into the game, really, I thought was a big part of that shift in the |
| 1:09.5 | game. Davian Mitchell hit all of his |
| 1:11.4 | threes in that first half. I thought we and we will certainly look at this through a Lakers lens. |
| 1:18.0 | D. I thought, and this happens in the NBA sometimes, the Kings played incredible basketball |
| 1:22.4 | on both ends of the floor for a good 12 to 15 minute stretch. And we did not match that. And so there were, I think, several reasons for that. But I do want to give the Kings credit just off the top, the bonus, won his matchup with AD, had a league leading 21st triple doubles. So Kings really hit on all cylinders. I think there were a lot of things from the Lakers perspective for us to talk about. But what do you see from last night's game, D? Yeah, I think if we're going to take a King's perspective first, |
| 1:48.0 | that I think they understand and they're well coached enough to understand this even more, and you can |
