With the Lakers reeling from a three-game slide, a calf injury to Austin Reaves and an air-it-out team meeting coming into Sunday’s game against the Sacramento Kings, LeBron James and Luka Doncic led L.A. to a dominant 125-101 win to stabilize things a bit. “I don’t want to create the narrative of [just] me and Luka,” James said. “It’s five guys on the floor and seven guys that come off the bench. It needs to be all of us. [But] it’s important that we set the tone.” James made his first three shots in the first three minutes of the game, a bit of foreshadowing for what ended up as his most efficient night as a Laker, according to ESPN Insights. He shot 11-for-13 from the field, with his 84.6% shooting percentage not only representing his best as a Laker but third best of his 23-year career. “I just felt in a really good rhythm tonight,” James said. “Had a good spring to my step, to my bounce and just tried to make the most out of my touches.”
