DeMarcus Cousins shot just 5/15 from the field but he had a double-double with 21 points and 11 rebounds. Rudy Gay added 19 and Willie Cauley-Stein was just 1 rebound away from his first double-double as he scored 17 points and grabbed 9 boards.
Darren Collison and Omri Casspi both reached double-digits off the bench with 14 and 12 respectively. The Los Angeles defense was terrible as the Kings shot almost 52% from the field. The Lakers were also outrebounded 56-37.
