Sacramento fell 127–120 at Golden 1 Center, despite LeBron James and Luka Dončić both being sidelined.

“Forty-six free throws to 18? And we had to beg for most of those,” DeRozan told reporters after the game.

Austin Reaves scored a career-high 51 points including four clutch free throws in the final 32 seconds, and the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Sacramento Kings 127-120 without Luka Doncic on Sunday.

Taking the leading role after Doncic was a late scratch due to finger and lower-leg injuries, Reaves surpassed his previous NBA best of 45 points set last February against the Indiana Pacers.
