Austin Reaves followed up his recent heroics with another stellar outing, scoring 26 points and dishing out a career-high 16 assists.
Rui Hachimura added 21 points for the Lakers, who secured the win despite being without LeBron James due to illness.
Sacramento, now 13-19, showed fight behind De’Aaron Fox’s 29 points and 12 assists, as well as 25 points from DeMar DeRozan.
However, the Kings, playing under interim coach Doug Christie after firing Mike Brown, couldn’t stop their skid, dropping their sixth straight game.
The Lakers’ sweep, with three wins over Sacramento in the past 10 days, highlights their growing chemistry and solidifies their push up the Western Conference standings, now tied for 5th.
