SACRAMENTO — In light of Anthony Davis once again missing a pair of clutch free throws, this time in the Lakers’ 103-99 road win over the Sacramento Kings on Saturday, coach JJ Redick made it clear he remains confident with having the ball in the All-Star big man’s hands late in games.

This is now the second consecutive win for L.A., who is now 2-0 since the return from a foot injury for LeBron James. This win signifies a much-needed turnaround for the Lakers, who were coming off a four-game losing streak prior to James’ return.

After two tepid performances in his first two G League games, Bronny has averaged 20.7 points over his last three contests.
