The Lakers completed a two-game sweep against the Kings thanks to a dominant LeBron James performance.

In a two-game series, the Los Angeles Lakers won 103-99, against the Sacramento Kings in a repeat of their match-up on Friday.

However, the Lakers gained an early advantage because of LeBron James' attacking aggression.

The Lakers' late-game plays then guaranteed their third straight win and fourth in their previous five games, giving them a 16–12 season record.

James attacked the rim early and frequently, finishing with a season-high four steals, seven rebounds, six assists, and a game-high 32 points.

In another game where the Lakers struggled with their outside shooting, he scored 23 points in the first half and made his first eight shots inside the paint to help put them ahead 56-53.

The Lakers' defense gave them the lead all day Saturday, and their final-minute play helped them win, just like it did on Thursday.

Despite missing an open pull-up three that would have reduced Sacramento's deficit to two, De'Aaron Fox led the Kings with a team-high 31 points, seven assists, and five rebounds.

Anthony Davis finished with 10 points, 15 rebounds, 5 assists, and three blocked shots, while Domantas Sabonis contributed 19 points, 19 rebounds, and 5 assists.
