Talen Horton-Tucker scored 19 points for the Lakers, who rallied from a late seven-point deficit with one big basket after another from Monk and James. Monk hit six 3-pointers in yet another impressive offensive game, and Russell Westbrook added 19 points and drew a key late charge as the Lakers climbed back above .500. Westbrook played 34 minutes in his first turnover-free game since March 14, 2016. The Lakers committed only five total turnovers, allowing them to take 16 more shots than Sacramento. ''That's the reason we won the game,'' James said. ''We did not turn the ball over tonight. When we get shots at the goal, we can be very dangerous. We weren't shooting the ball well at all, (but) because we didn't turn the ball over, we caught on fire.'' De'Aaron Fox scored 30 points and Buddy Hield added 26 with seven 3-pointers for the Kings, who scored 11 consecutive points early in the fourth quarter before wilting down the stretch. Harrison Barnes had 14 points for Sacramento, which had won three straight over the Lakers in Los Angeles. Tyrese Haliburton's jumper put the Kings up with three minutes to play, but Monk's 3-pointer and James' layup put the Lakers back ahead 114-110. Westbrook and James added layups as LA held on by scoring on nine consecutive possessions down the stretch. ''You've got to give (James) credit,'' Barnes said. ''He made some shots, but as a collective we could have done a better job making him work for some of those shots. In this league, it's hard to guard one-on-one, especially great players.'' Dwight Howard had a season-high 14 points and 14 rebounds for the Lakers, who beat a Pacific Division opponent at home for the first time in six tries this season. Despite an unimpressive start, James extended a torrid stretch that began before the holidays and included seven consecutive 30-point games before he only produced 26 Sunday against Minnesota. LA also got another boost from Monk, who has scored at least 15 points in six straight games. ''I always think that I can do that for any team I'm on, and I'm ready for whatever happens,'' Monk said. ''We're short a couple of people, but even when they come back, I'm still going to be ready and still going to produce.'' TIP-INS Kings: USC product Chimezie Metu went into the NBA's health and safety protocols earlier in the day, joining Richaun Holmes.

G Terence Davis missed his fourth straight game with an ankle injury. ... Holmes missed his second straight game. Lakers: Kendrick Nunn has yet to make his debut for Los Angeles due to a preseason bone bruise, but coach Frank Vogel said the mid-level exception signing is working out with Lakers coaches and getting closer to a return. Although Nunn will miss at least half of the regular season unless he returns this week, Vogel said the third-year NBA pro will play ''a lot of minutes'' when he's healthy. TOUGH CALL Kings interim coach Alvin Gentry was incensed when officials were forced to call a jump ball after Monk missed a free throw with 24.8 seconds to play and the game clock started running before Fox touched the rebound. Sacramento still trailed by five at the time, but the Kings lost the jump ball and any chance of a comeback. Gentry was profane in his criticism of the rule, but stressed he didn't blame the officials for enforcing it: ''The referees did what they were supposed to do. If there's anything that needs to be changed, it's the rule that needs to be changed. We didn't start the clock. It wasn't our error. We got punished for a (stupid) rule.'' A.B.

Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDhewTuCfySdl_O2JtdXUQg/join Devin Booker continued to distance himself from a hamstring injury that cost him seven games, scoring 24 points with nine rebounds and seven assists as the Phoenix Suns earned a 108-90 victory Tuesday night over the Los Angeles Lakers. Booker played 32 minutes and went 8 of 16 from the field one game after he was on the court for 26 minutes in his return Sunday during a blowout victory over the Charlotte Hornets. ''I feel great, man, and I think every game it's going to feel better,'' Booker said. ''I'm just getting some runs up under me but we have a good team that makes it easy to mesh with and get back with. When you have the support of all 15 guys, plus the coaching staff, it gives you a lot more confidence when you're out there.'' Deandre Ayton had 19 points and 11 rebounds, and Mikal Bridges scored 14 as the Suns won their fourth consecutive game and improved to 2-2 on the road since the end of their 18-game winning streak Dec. 3. LeBron James scored 34 points for the Lakers, who lost their third game in a row as coach Frank Vogel remained in health and safety protocols for the second straight. Four Lakers players also are in protocols, including starting guard Avery Bradley. ''Obviously, we are in a rough patch right now with guys in and out of protocol, guys who are injured,'' James said. ''We just have to stay together until we become whole, or as whole as possible. But I love our fight. I thought we had a good fight tonight, we just couldn't make enough plays.'' Russell Westbrook had 22 points and 10 rebounds for the Lakers, who were without star Anthony Davis for the second consecutive game. Davis is expected to miss at least four weeks with an MCL sprain in his left knee. James injured his left ankle with 6:05 remaining in the third quarter when he came down on the right foot of the Suns' Jae Crowder. He remained in the game but looked hobbled the rest of the way. ''Yeah, I'll be ready for next game,'' James said. Losing Booker for 2 1/2 weeks could have sent the Suns spiraling backward, but they found success and still hold the best record in the NBA as Christmas approaches. ''I think a big part of it comes down to our team culture, how guys step into situations and we remain ourselves,'' said Cameron Johnson, who also had 14 points. ''You can see our identity on the court when we have everybody. It's a group of guys that likes playing together and we play for each other.'' After a slow start and a 54-52 lead at halftime, the Suns led by as many as 13 in the third quarter on two occasions and carried an 85-73 lead into the fourth. The Lakers' Carmelo Anthony was ejected in the third period when he argued a non-call after a shot attempt and received his second technical. Phoenix's lead reached 20 points for the first time at 100-80 with 5:17 remaining on Johnson's 3-pointer. Chris Paul had 11 points and nine assists for the Suns, who face the Oklahoma City Thunder at home Thursday before their Christmas showdown in Phoenix against the Golden State Warriors. JaVale McGee had 10 points and 10 rebounds. Veteran guard Isaiah Thomas scored three points on 1-of-11 shooting in his third game since signing with the Lakers on Friday. Talen Horton-Tucker had three points on 1-of-13 shooting for Los Angeles in his first game back from health and safety protocols. ''Yesterday was my first day out of the protocol and really today was my first (full) official day,'' said Horton-Tucker, who entered averaging 11.3 points per game. ''I'm just trying to get back into the groove of things.'' In just his second game of the season, Trevor Ariza had 12 points for the Lakers. TIP-INS Suns: After the Suns opened 0 of 9 from 3-point range, Booker made their first basket from long distance with 1:42 remaining in the first quarter. Phoenix missed 19 of its first 22 attempts from behind the arc before halftime. . Bridges opened 0 of 8 from the field but still reached double digits in points with 4:38 remaining in the first half. Lakers: In addition to Horton-Tucker, C Dwight Howard also was activated from health and safety protocols. Kent Bazemore, Malik Monk and Austin Reaves remained in protocols, along with Bradley. .

Reaves' basket, his fifth from behind the arc on six tries, came from 25 feet on a kickout from Russell Westbrook. He had the Lakers' only overtime points scored by someone other than the team's Big Three of LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Westbrook. ''There was about one second left, and I didn't have anything to do but shoot it,'' said Reaves, who played two seasons each at Wichita State and Oklahoma, signing a two-way contract with the Lakers in August that was converted to a regular contract in September. ''Great pass, and I made a shot.'' James scored 24 points, Westbrook added 23 and Davis had his sixth double-double of the season with 20 points and 12 rebounds after missing two games with a sore left knee. But it was the undrafted player who made sure they left with a victory. ''We've got a lot of trust in whoever's on the floor, including the rook,'' James said. ''Obviously, it showed on that last possession.'' Jalen Brunson scored 25 points and Kristaps Porzingis had his eighth double-double this season with 23 points and 12 rebounds for the Mavericks, who played their third straight game without All-Star guard Luka Doncic. ''Man, it sucks,'' Porzingis said, rubbing his face. ''Oh, my god. We should have got this one.'' Brunson said he'd seen Reaves play in college. ''He has game,'' Brunson said. ''You've got to respect him, and he was able to make shots.'' A 3-pointer by Westbrook gave the Lakers a 104-101 lead with 23.5 seconds left in overtime. Maxi Kleber tied the score with 15.2 left when he banked in a shot from 25 feet. Los Angeles' final possession didn't follow Dallas' defensive plan. ''We were going to foul with 10 seconds, make them reset and gives us a chance to reset, too,'' said Mavericks coach Jason Kidd, who was a Lakers assistant during the past two seasons. ''And we just didn't get to the foul.'' James for 4 of 9 on 3-pointers, including a 35-foot swish near the midcourt logo in the third period. Three Lakers were missing after entering the NBA's COVID-19 protocol: center Dwight Howard, forward Talen Horton-Tucker and guard Malik Monk. Two of the 36-year-old Howard's three starts this season came in the last two games with Davis out. Horton-Tucker scored a career-high 19 points in Sunday's win over Orlando. LA STAFFING ISSUES Other members of the Lakers' traveling party who entered the virus protocol included assistant coach Phil Handy and TV play-by-play announcer Bill Macdonald. Assistant coach David Fizdale missed the game for what the team called personal reasons unrelated to COVID. ''It's the same thing you tell your players - next man up,'' coach Frank Vogel said of filling in for two assistants. ''Everybody's prepared to the job of the guy in front of him.'' TIP-INS Lakers: Wayne Ellington made his third start of the season and scored nine points in 38 minutes, including the 3-pointer from the left corner that sent the game into overtime. . Davis played 14 first-half minutes with four points, five rebounds, five turnovers and three fouls. Mavericks: They're 2-5 without Doncic, who will also miss Dallas' next game on Sunday at Minnesota. . The Mavericks outscored the Lakers 14-0 on second-quarter points in the paint with Brunson going 6 for 7. . Willie Cauley-Stein missed his 10th consecutive game for personal reasons.
