After their 12-game winning streak was snapped last Tuesday, the South Bay Lakers looked to start a new streak when they defeated the Grand Rapids Gold on Friday and Saturday at home. On Tuesday, they once again took the court at UCLA Health Training Center and played the Stockton Kings, a team that is chasing them in the G League standings.
Stockton surged ahead in this game in the second quarter and late in the third quarter, and it was ahead by 10 points at the end of the third quarter. Things looked good for the Lakers when they fought back to take a 101-95 lead with 6:29 left in the fourth period, but Stockton then went up 112-111 when DaQuan Jeffries made two free throws with 17.4 seconds remaining.
R.J. Davis responded with a 3-pointer, but Jeffries answered with a trey of his own with five seconds left, giving Stockton a 115-114 victory.
South Bay allowed the Kings to shoot 50.6% from the field and 48.8% from 3-point range. Jeffries led the Kings with 27 points on 10-of-13 overall shooting and 4-of-6 from downtown.
Arthur Kaluma came off the bench to score a game-high 31 points on 11-of-17 shooting, to go along with eight rebounds, four assists and two steals. Davis had 16 points, and center Malik Williams posted 23 points, 12 rebounds, three assists and three blocks while hitting five of his 10 3-point attempts.
South Bay is still in first place in the G League's Western Conference with a 24-10 record. The second-place Mexico City Capitanes also have a 24-10 record, and Stockton is in the third spot at 22-12.
