Lakers Improve to 3-0 After Defeating Kings

The Los Angeles Lakers achieved their first 2-0 start since the 2010-11 season, overcoming a 22-point deficit to defeat the Phoenix Suns 123-116, led by Anthony Davis's 35 points. Davis also had 36 points in the season opener against Minnesota, making him one of the few Lakers to score over 35 points in the first two games of a season. The Lakers’ turnaround is attributed to the new head coach JJ Redick's strategy, which emphasizes getting Davis the ball early. In their latest game against the Sacramento Kings, the Lakers rallied late to secure a 131-127 victory, improving their record to 3-0. Davis continued his strong performance, scoring 31 points and leading the team with crucial plays down the stretch. The Lakers are now set to embark on a five-game road trip, looking to maintain their momentum.
