The Kings played their first game under interim coach Doug Christie after Mike Brown&#8217;s firing.<\/p>\n<p>The Lakers managed to compensate for <a href=\"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/nba\/player\/lebron-james\/\">LeBron James<\/a>&#8216; absence due to illness with a balanced offensive effort. Austin Reaves stood out with 26 points and a career-high 16 assists, while Rui Hachimura contributed 21 points. Max Christie added 16 points, and Dalton Knecht provided a boost off the bench with 18.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">LAKERS COMPLETE THE SEASON SWEEP VS.
