Los Angeles Lakers vs Sacramento Kings Full Game Highlights Oct 17, 2025 NBA Preseason

hands that you are dealt Danny Green and you have to prioritize, you know, health of all of the players and balancing out the playing time. But this should be a good run through for the Lakers here tonight. Absolutely. Especially when you have back to backs and preseason. Here’s a lob underneath. You know, the Lakers have started games like that no matter who is run for Ruie laid up and in and they’re on the board defense leading offense. Quick, easy baskets. Lakers have been outrun for Lakers have been outrun for most of the preeason. That’s just not one of their strengths at least so far in their first five plus games. There’s Zack on the outside and he hits for three. Can’t let him get hot. Not this early that UCLA Bron. He’s home. He’s going to get comfortable real soon. You know him pretty well. You guys rehabed together, didn’t you? We did. We both had a few knee injuries and we’re right here in LA rehabing. So, it not only home for him, but home for me as well. I like how you said it. A few knee injuries. Not your point. Here’s Donic Luca. Well, he was throwing them in from everywhere when he made his debut a couple of games ago. And if you know Luca, that’s that’s his win. Well, he was having so much fun. He was laughing and skipping around during both sides. Some really good shooting. Shruder. What’s it about him when he plays for his country in the summer? He’s unstoppable. Yeah, he’s very slithery. I don’t think it’s just for his country. Even in this league, he is hard to stop getting to that right hand. You know, we were talking about it before. He’s kind of if the system fits him, he really plays good basketball, doesn’t he? Yeah. And I I would like to see how he fits with now Russ Cumin and Dear and Zack. But he’s he’s always been a very good player. Even he’s here in LA. I liked him. Well, there’s a guy who’s been here actually went to Pepperdine University. Doug Christie, all Laker fans, we know him. Was the interim coach last year, now gets a full year with the gig. See what he can do with this team. Drew Eubanks trying to muscle his way in. Little hook shot. Pretty stuff. Nice. I see a very nice touch. You don’t see that from him often. Reeves, look at this pass. That whip pass underneath to Hajura. It’s a great seal. I think he learned a thing or two from LeBron James getting that seal early in the paint. Early offense, get easy basket. LeBron is here. LeBron is on the bench. [Applause] Of course, we hope he mens up quickly. These guys Sacramento without Keegan Murray. She’s out for a while. There’s a great pass on a roll and a dunk. Clifford, he’s showing some some real skill here early on in this first quarter. Not just scoring the ball, but Yeah, Jones had finished it. Luca, of course, things will run through him straight away. Looking for some three-point magic. Going to be taken now by Shooter, the former Laker. You thought he played well when he was here, didn’t you? I mean, I liked him. I like he how he played on the ball and hopefully kept LeBron off the ball just a little bit. Um, but he was a good fit. Yeah. Quick, obviously. There’s a little ball fake going to the rim all the way. Lays it up and in. Once again, that’s Clifford. I think he’s winning over a lot of fans in this preseason. He’s shown he can do a multitude of things. He had 19 points against the Clippers the other night to lead all King scorers, averaging nearly 15 in the preseason. Well, we haven’t even mentioned the game that Gabe Vincent had to start in Vegas. Donic long distance. Dave had what? 18 points in three minutes. Yeah, like four minutes of threes. Yeah. Laid up and in. That’s what Shruder can do. That’s what he does. Slithering. Just get into the paint, sliding by, guys. Easy layups. Leading Germany to the gold medal in the Euro basket. Look at play for the Slovenian team. The right hand side. But Danny mentioned it. If you haven’t heard, Russell Westbrook has signed with Sacramento. So Russy toyed with the idea of going overseas and he got an offer he couldn’t refuse and he’s going to play for the Kings underneath Eubanks. Nicely done and he lays it in. That was a great setup by Dennis Schroeder. Just getting the defense to commit a big easy layup. And they take it right out of the net and go down to the other end and score. And that’s part of the game plan getting that pace. If you get up the floor fast, you can get some easy baskets. Sacramento has not missed. Seven for seven until then. Clifford going after it and it’s poked out of the rib and they take it right out of the net and go down to the other end and score. And that’s part of the game plan. Getting that pace. If you get up the floor fast, you get some easy baskets. Sacramento has not missed. Seven for seven until going after it. It’s poked out of bounds by DeAndre. And the word is he does it in practice, too. Going 110 miles an hour in practice. And you don’t see that from superstars. Luka. Look at Luka immediately. Let’s review that thing. Barely increasing the ball. I’ll take a look at it. Looks like he got his forearm. A little bit of body. Yeah, but they’re going to challenge it. He’ll get rid of the challenge early. Wow. All right, we’ll be back. Is Luca right or wrong? We’ll know in a matter of moments. First quarter officials here tonight, Justin Vanine, Daniel Scott, and JT or sounds like a wrestler. JT or Yeah. Got some Southern California ties. Here’s Reeves in front of his own bench. Had a great start to this preseason. Austin Reeves, he’s 20 a game. That’s what he is right now. Ry turning flat shot off target rebounds. Great action but a little stagnant at the end of that play. Little over five minutes into this first quarter. The Lakers are down by three. Shruder bounce. Eubanks little ball fang again. Sabonis will be the man in the middle to start, but he’s had a couple of those already tonight. Danny Eubank showing the post moves out there. A little right hook. He’s got working on something this summer. Reeves trying to get to the rim as he always does it seems and hangs in the air. A little fall back and score. That’s what he does. He’s very good at getting to that that great hand and get to the rim. Well, he actually went left on that one. Now he’s trying to front Isaac Jones on the defensive end. Zack Lavine, of course, in Chicago for a long time. That one’s off target. Taken out by DeAndre Aton for the number one pick in the draft from Arizona. Push the pace. Push the pace. There you go. It goes, it doesn’t go. So, Luca back to the line to shoot free throws. I love how Ru is running the floor and sealing early in the paint. You know, we’re going to get to Luca in a minute because uh when Luca made his debut, Michael was with me and you’ve had a chance to play against this dude uh numerous times and I want to know why he is such a a great player out on the floor from your perspective, but right now, how about this from he’s just so hard to guard because his pace is hard to catch his rhythm, but he’s also a big body guard. Knows how to use his his footwork is amazing, but knows how to use his shoulders, get you off, you know, balance and you can’t block a shot. So, and because he passes the ball so well, yeah, it’s hard. You You can’t throw doubles out of it. It’s you got to pick your poison. But you’re right. It seems like he’s cruising at times and and because of that, like you said, a defender, you just you just can’t zone into that rhythm. He’s very good at doing a lot of things. That’s why it’s hard to run. Char, of course, just a few years ago, he was a key component where he was and Dario’s tried to kind of crack into this lineup a little bit with Murray out for a bit. Keegan Murray with the thumb injury. They’re going to miss him. Yeah, that was another setup by Clifford. Don’t look now. He’s making some plays. Yeah, up under corner. Re four to shoot. Going to have to fire Marcus. Marcus. That’s his first bucket as a Laker. Just a shame it doesn’t count in regular season. First preseason. There you go. You got to temper that. It counts to us. Who else? Clifford. Clifford’s having a night. Now he’s got to guard Luke on the end. Welcome to the league. Ruy wide open. Wide open. and he knocks down the short corner three quickly now front court you’ve got Clifford Shruder shards Ellis and Ray Reno from France on the floor for the Kings now it’s Luca behind the back look at that see that’s what you’re talking about gets in there can’t score not saying they aren’t bad this year but sitting down by the way is Austin Ree who had his only triple double last year. Speaking of Golden State, on Christmas and hit the game-winning shot. It’s a hell of a night, isn’t that great, Clifford. Luca trying to go up and get it. He’s not going to win that battle with his team. Plenty of minutes in the pre-eason. Boy, what are you going to do? You going to let go in for the lob or you going to let Luca go in for the layup? And that’s what they did. Especially a guy like Lugler bringing the ball up. Yeah, it’s one of the first rules of basketball. Stop it. Three-pointer. That’s Ke Ellis played quite a bit last year out of Alabama. He was scoreless the other night against the Clippers. They have not won a preseason game, by the way. Underneath here is Aiden to score. Okay, feed the big fellow. Give him a B one, Tom. It’s a good move. You know, it has been more than two years since Sacramento won a preseason game. Here’s Shards. Obviously, they’re not putting a whole lot of emphasis on it. Again, the stakes are nothing really. Two years now. 0 and6 last year. 0 and3 so far this year. Don again all the way to the rim. Just take it easy. Time out. Walking his way to the basket at his own pace, trolling everyone. I dare you to try to jump or reach. [Music] Unbelievable how he does that. The Kings though in the regular season couple of seasons ago in 2023 24 you know be in the lineup of course when these two teams play it’ll be the first Laker regular season road game a week from Sunday. Jack Hayes is in trying to control on the left wing instead of Zack Lavine. showing us the foul right at the 24se second buzzer too. Got a little slow step. It’s hard to guard trying to get that rhythm. The ball fake up. Got the defender in there. Got 19 assists on 22 buckets here combined for these two. So sharing the basketball and also making them. It’s all about efficiency when you’re talking about assists, what they can do on the other side of things. points in the paint. Plus two right now for the Sacramento Kings. Now the Lakers are shooting 69%. That’s a hot start from both sides. Well, and guess what? It’s exact same for the Kings. They are both 11 for 16. You’re right. 2926 Lakers. Lakers actually were outshot the free throw line the other night. That has not happened until uh the Dallas Mavericks beat up on them. I mean, the Lakers led by what, 15 in the first half against Dallas. They were dominating. I think Luca being out might had something to do with it. Yeah. I don’t know. They they played well when the regulars were in or the regulars that were available. Yeah, it was an ugly fourth quarter back at the bench. Didn’t do it for the Lakers. Luca dropping down from distance. Wow, that’s a deep one. again workload has been diminished here in the preseason and he that time he says yeah I mean you won’t see that a lot admitting that got real physical coming off that screen but at least yeah you won’t see him admitting it often where he right exactly even if he does foul someone it’s like what are you talking about exactly that’s a that’s few and far between right there what we just saw wait till the regular season he’ll be back to form and LBJ Just keeps on rolling along, doesn’t he? Yep. Coming in fashion roll. Got a Eminem shirt. Says my name is My name is We’ll see it again. It’s a nice shirt though. Usual spot on the end of the bench. Propped up with a couple of pillows. They could not execute that right at the rim and then they throw it away on the three turnover. That was a great look too. Great idea. can execute it. Four turnovers for Sacramento. Couple for the Lakers as Marcus Smart, former Celtic was with Memphis in the basketball. Now, yeah, Vanderbilts were working on that three. This time he took it and Charge was there to deny. He got hit on that ball. Right wing three and bang. So those are threes that we like to see. Touch the paint first, find the open uncontested shot. I think a lot of the old guys would appreciate those three. Yeah. And Zach leads the team with eight jam. Throw it down from Luca J. That’s what he can do. And that’s why you should play. You got to play him more. You got to get more involved with with Luca. That twoman action is hard to guard when you have a lap threat like that. 32 [Music] led the Lakers last year with 120 dunks. Bam. Just like that. That’s impressive. Especially the fact that said he didn’t play a ton of minutes. And you got LeBron James on your team who still even at 41 is getting a lot of dunks. Jackson Hayes made a careerhigh 35 starts last year and the Lakers when he started were 26 and so he did his part and helping the Lakers to a real good record when he was in the starting lineup. Carter working on Reeves gets around Reeds will come out the other end. We’re coming up on a minute Danny here to go in a quarter. Back to the basket. Charich Marcus Smart, you know, he can defend and he takes it away. Scrabby little guy. You cannot put the ball down in front of him. You had battles with him plenty. Probably bruised a few years, you know, got beat up a little bit. Strong little guy. I say little strong. Reor [Music] the story goes that he gave up. Look at that again. Two in a row. Marcus Smart. Two one. Give it to Vando. Shouldn’t have done it. Should have taken it himself. Selfish that time. So defense saw that happening. A little sloppy out here. Yeah. Comedy of errors. Ellis says, “Forget about that. I got a I got a shot. I’m going to knock it down.” Keon outside of the turnover, it’s a pretty good they’re shooting it very well on both sides of the ball. By the way, we are not seeing Malik Monk who is out of this game. Also, the former Laker who’s a big part of their team. Boy, they protected the rim there, didn’t they? With three with two, one to go in the corner. Smart. And the quarter is over. Foul was there. Smart staying down on the floor. Little up and down.
