In his debut as the interim coach of the Sacramento Kings, Doug Christie hoped to bring stability to the team following the firing of Mike Brown. However, the Kings fell to the Los Angeles Lakers with a score of 132-122, marking their sixth consecutive loss and allowing the Lakers to complete a season sweep. Despite the defeat, Christie emphasized that there would be no grace period for the players as they strive to turn around their season. The absence of LeBron James did not hinder the Lakers, as Anthony Davis led the way, nearly achieving a triple-double, further highlighting the challenges ahead for Christie and the Kings.
