The Darvin Ham-led LA Lakers team suffered a 120-107 loss to the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday night, finishing 0-for-4 against Sacramento this season, and fans aren't happy, displaying their outrage on social media.
The Kings outplayed the Lakers in almost all categories. They shot 52.3%, including 46.3% from 3-point land, while Los Angeles only went 48.7% and 43.8%.
Domantas Sabonis led the Kings with a triple-double, posting 17 points, 19 rebounds and 10 assists. De'Aaron Fox helped out with 21 points and seven assists. LeBron James flirted with a trouble-double for the Lakers, as he finished with 18 points, 13 rebounds and nine assists.
The Lakers coach made some postgame comments that left fans scratching their heads. Ham tried to make a joke about wanting Kings coach Mike Brown to share his playbook when they play.
"I wish I could tell Mike Brown, 'Please, come down when he plays offense, just let us know what you're going to run so we can stop it,'" Ham said.
As expected, fans weren't happy with his comments.
