The Los Angeles Lakers suffered a 124-112 loss against the Sacramento Kings on Monday. The Lakers blamed their mundane shooting as the reason for the defeat. The Kings shot 17-for-26 on 3-pointers, with their 65.4% accounting for the worst rate allowed in a game in Lakers history when defending at least 25 3-point attempts, according to ESPN Insights.

On the other hand, the Lakers shot just 8-for-36 from 3 and could not come up with the goods. 

“I think we played solid defense,” LeBron James said after the game. “S—, I mean, they made a bunch of 3s. We didn’t make many. … Tonight was just one of those cases where you didn’t make shots.”

DeMar DeRozan led the Kings with 32 points on 14-for-19 shooting. Former Lakers guard Malik Monk (26 points, 7-for-9 from 3) and Russell Westbrook (22 points, 4-for-8 from 3) delivered for the Kings.

“Had 50 potential assists tonight, we converted on 21 of those,” Lakers coach JJ Redick said, referring to the team’s internal analytics. “This has been the theme. It has been the theme. So, we just got to keep shooting, I guess.”

Redick said they were not complacent before the game against the struggling Kings.

“We don’t look at any game as a walkover,” Redick said.

Redick also explained the decision of not playing Rui Hachimura, who has not played the last six games because of a right calf issue.

“[And] he was on a severe minutes restriction so it made sense to play him tomorrow,” Redick said. “We had already put in the injury report.”

The Lakers will next take on the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday and they would look to return to winning ways after losing the last three games.
