They didn’t score for a four-minute stretch before finally scoring in the 4th on a De’Aaron Fox 3-pointer with 7:43 left. The Kings came all the way back to take it into a two-point game, down 62-60 with 56 seconds to play, before the Lakers again responded.

Another One: Anthony Davis drained a clutch 3 with 38 seconds left to give him his third consecutive 30+ point game to start the season. That was followed by a Rui Hachimura dunk served on a platter by LeBron before an AD free throw sealed the win with 11 seconds left.
