If you would have told me the Los Angeles Lakers minus King James (Groin) and no Rajon Rondo (DND) would be leading the new Sacramento Kings in the waning seconds of the game tonight I would have said oh yes these Lakers you better believe it!
Then fast forward if you would have told me it was a King guard shooting over 7-foot Tyson Chandler would he hit the game-winner I would have told you nope...no way! Well Serbian PG Bogdan Bogdanovic proved me wrong not only hitting the walk-off Money Ball but he also had a team high 23 points off the Kings Bench.
The Kings did have four of five starters in double figures led by "Trill" Willie Cauley-Stein's 19 points and eight boards. Both Iman Shumpert and Nemanja Bjelica aded 18 apiece. The Kings allowed the Lakers to shoot 515 from the field but the Lake Show shot themselves in the foot by shooting under 70% from the line missing seven free throws.
The Lakers Big Three in this one Kyle Kuzman (33 pts 9 rebs), Brandon Ingram (22 pts) and Lonzo Ball (20 pts 12 asst 9 rebs) played extremely well and that growth has taken a gigantic leap for the greater good with LeBron James and Rajon Rondo around you can see it and feel it.
All three made big plays down the stretch as Ball looking more and more like Jason Kidd went head to head with De'Aaron Fox of the Kins (15 pts 12 ast 9 rebs) and both just missed a triple-double missing a board.
No Rondo as he didn't even dress as the Lakers fall to 20-15 and they are going nowhere but up. The Kings on the rise in the west moves to 19-16 and they are for real with young pieces everywhere...
