Halftime: Kings 72, Lakers 59
LeBron has 18 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists. DLo has 14 points. Austin Reaves has 5 rebounds and 5 assists. LA has hung around by getting to the FT line and forcing turnovers. They have to clean up their offense — SAC has 16 points off TOs. – 11:11 PM

Ryan Ward: Austin Reaves on adjusting to the bench role: “I mean, basketball is basketball for me. Start, come off the bench, go play pickup back home. I try to play the same way regardless of the situation. And yeah, that’s really it. I feel like my family, especially my brother, did a really good job teaching me at a young age how to play the game and even when shots aren’t falling to still play the right way, and that’s really the main thing just being myself and trusting what I do but at the same time just playing the game the right way.” -via Twitter @RyanWardLA / November 13, 2023
“He said all the right things. And I totally believe him. But he’s a prideful dude,” Ham said. “He’s been our starting two guard. It’s an adjustment. But I told him, one, it’s going to balance us out. And when you come in, you’re going to have your own crew. Ball’s going to be in your hands and you’re not going to have to take turns with Bron, D-Lo and AD. Number two, your minutes are not going to go down. … And number three, you’re going to finish the games for us. You’ll be in at the end. Don’t be upset because you’re not out there to see the tipoff live and in person, but outside of that, nothing is really going to change.” -via Los Angeles Times / November 11, 2023
