Lakers’ most recent loss to Kings has fans criticizing Darvin Ham
Sacramento Kings v Los Angeles Lakers
The LA Lakers (34-30) lost 140-130 to the Sacramento Kings (35-26) on Wednesday, dropping them one rank in the Western Conference from ninth to 10th place. Fans are furious with Darvin Ham, especially considering only 18 games are remaining for the Purple and Gold to secure a postseason appearance.
LeBron James did everything he could to come out victorious by putting up a double-double performance with 31 points, 13 assists and five rebounds. Helping the “King” defend the fort were Rui Hachimura, who scored 29 points, and Anthony Davis, who had a double-double outing with 14 points and 11 rebounds.
However, Sacramento was too much to handle for LA. Domantas Sabonis went on a rampage with a triple-double: 16 points, 20 rebounds, 12 assists and two steals. De’Aaron Fox was hot as well, scoring 44 points to lead his team.
With the most recent LA Lakers and Sacramento Kings matchup in the books, Darvin Ham could be pressured to make efficient adjustments. The Lakers are could end up missing the playoffs, let alone the play-in tournament if they continue to lose their games
