Lakers, with stars back together, take on lowly Kings

After closing out February by putting an emphatic end to a three-game losing streak, the Los Angeles Lakers will leap into March with a visit from the Sacramento Kings on Sunday.

The Lakers earned a 129-101 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Saturday that was not diminished in the slightest, even as their opponent was without star Stephen Curry.

Luka Doncic scored 26 points with eight assists for Los Angeles on his 27th birthday, while LeBron James celebrated the occasion with 22 points and nine assists.
