The Los Angeles Lakers dropped their sixth straight preseason game, this time to the Sacramento Kings, 116-112.

Los Angeles’ new trio of LeBron James, Russell Westbrook and Anthony Davis got off to a strong start against Sacramento, but Davion Mitchell’s energy changed the tide in the first quarter.

Sacramento led by double-digits in the second, but the Lakers responded with a 14-0 run and made it a game again. Dwight Howard made key plays in the paint on defense to spur the run.

James finished the game with a game-high 30 points on 12-of-20 shooting. Westbrook came behind him with 18 points on 7-of-12 shooting, his best outing of the preseason.

Though the Lakers didn’t win a preseason game, this last contest will have good things on tape to build on.
