The Lakers’ loss to Sacramento exposed many of the team’s problems that have haunted them against the Kings.

Either it’s a hurdle or a wall. The Lakers couldn’t be sure. Now they are. The Sacramento Kings fully have the Lakers’ number, one team completely dominating the other in a series that’s been badly tilted away from Los Angeles over the last two seasons. The Lakers’ 120-107 loss at Sacramento on Wednesday night exposed so many of the problems that have haunted them against the Kings, who have too much shooting. Too much speed. Too much toughness.

LeBron James, the benefactor of two days of rest, came out of the huddle on the next play and turned the ball over for the third time in the third quarter leading to an easy Kings fast break. D’Angelo Russell, the Lakers’ red-hot guard, went cold as ice in Sacramento, who graciously didn’t play that song this time, as he missed his first seven shots before hitting a fourth-quarter three. The Lakers cut the Kings’ lead to nine in the fourth, a glimmer of momentum.
