LeBron James and Lakers fall to Kings in overtime amid continued tinkering

Anthony Davis finishes with 30 points and LeBron James forces overtime, but the Lakers can't contain Malik Monk in the extra frame of a 132-127 loss.

LeBron James recited the date — Oct. 29, 2003 — in the visiting locker room, a photo from his NBA debut in a frame below his locker. That game, the start of a career that includes four NBA championships and the NBA’s all-time scoring record, happened in the same city and the same date as the Lakers’ third game this year. “I was a baby!” 20-year-old rookie Jalen Hood-Schifino said from the stall next to James’ locker. He was three months old when James played his first NBA game.

Even after James forced Sunday’s game into overtime with a sweeping layup, the Lakers missed too many shots and wasted too many chances, losing 132-127 to the Kings in overtime in Sacramento. The team now heads back to Los Angeles for the second leg of a back-to-back with the Magic. James scored 27 points, including seven in overtime, but the Lakers made only two of their 10 three-point attempts in the fourth quarter and overtime.
