Kings’ Domantas Sabonis Cooked Lakers’ Anthony Davis, and NBA Fans Were Ruthless
One center was crowned the undisputed winner during Wednesday's Sacramento Kings—Los Angeles Lakers matchup, and his name is Domantas Sabonis.
In the Kings’ 120–107 victory over the Lakers at Golden 1 Center, Sabonis extended his undefeated streak over Anthony Davis to 10 straight wins dating back to Davis’s days with the New Orleans Pelicans.
The Lithuanian-American center outmuscled Davis all night en route to his league-leading 23rd triple-double as the Kings completed their second-ever season series sweep of the Lakers. Sabonis finished with 17 points, 19 rebounds and 10 assists in the widely heralded performance while Davis finished with 22 points, 10 rebounds and three assists and went 7 of 18 from the field.
Davis, who has also lost his last seven games to another European center, Denver Nuggets’ Nikola Jokić, simply had no answer for Sabonis on Wednesday night.
NBA fans—and Davis’s loudest critics—took to X to marvel at Sabonis’s all-around dominance over the Lakers big man.
The Kings (38–27) are the No. 6 seed in the Western Conference sitting three games ahead of the No. 9-seeded Lakers (36–31).
