He and others in the studio, which also included Robert Horry, were left disappointed as the LA Lakers dropped a game they should have won comfortably. That’s because the Kings are one of the struggling teams in the West this season.

With the loss in third overtime, the LA Lakers are now 10-11 for the season. Worthy and many others have time and again expressed their disappointment about the Lakers’ performances this season. Speaking about their loss in his post-game analysis, Worthy said:

Worthy said that the Lakers’ elite players need to hit more threes.

The LA Lakers had a good chance to close out the game in the fourth quarter. However, with their fourth-quarter woes continuing, the game went to three overtimes before the Lakers fell short.

LA Lakers suffer a disappointing loss in third OT to the Sacramento Kings

The two teams were tied at the end of two quarters. Going into half-time, the scores were level at 43 points apiece, suggesting that the game would go down the wire.

In the third quarter, the LA Lakers upped their game, and scored 35 points. They continued playing well even in the fourth. But in a dramatic turn of events, the Sacramento Kings embarked on a scoring streak to close down the lead the LA Lakers had.

With the game tied at 110-110, LeBron James had the ball in his hand. It looked like the King would drain a three to give the LA Lakers the win on the night. However, the shot didn’t go inside the hoop.

That meant the Lakers would be in for their second consecutive overtime game. When it looked like the Lakers were comfortable in the OT, the young Kings team bounced back again to take the game to double overtime.

Even that was not enough to separate the two teams as a third overtime ensued. Despite both sets of players looking exhausted, the Kings turned out to be the better team. They had some young guns like Tyrese Haliburton and De’Aaron Fox who helped the Kings down the Lakers.

The defeat comes as a big disappointment for the LA Lakers. They will hope to bounce back soon from this disappointment as they prepare to face off against the Detroit Pistons on Sunday.
