Before the season started, what would you have said had I suggested that the Kings would score a combined 221 points against the Lakers in the first two matchups between the teams?
A) You’re stupid, Mike
B) Um, didn’t you just start here? Idiot.
C) Go back to Minnesota
D) Webber, Bibby, Peja, Vladi and Doug don’t play there anymore…
E) All of the above
Either way, it happened. The first was a 118-108 Lakers win at STAPLES, the second a 113-102 Kings win in Sacramento.
But how did the 221 happen? Was it simply lack of effort? Poor defensive rotation? Good scheming by the Kings? The answer is, probably, a little bit of everything, but don’t listen to me. Listen to Lakers assistant coach Frank Hamblen, who broke down the Kings on camera after Friday’s shootaround:
