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.

A couple of streaks came to an end in the Lakers' first game of the new year: James' run of seven straight games with at least 30 points and Russell Westbrook's stretch of four straight triple-doubles. Westbrook finished with 20 points, three rebounds, five assists and nine of the Lakers' 28 turnovers. ''We did a good job of holding our own, gutting it out,'' said Westbrook, who had just one turnover in the second half. Naz Reid led the Wolves with season highs of 23 points, making 10 of 17 from the floor, and 11 rebounds, the first 20-plus points and 10-plus rebounds effort of his career. Jaylen Nowell added 17 points off the bench. The Lakers (19-19) climbed back to .500, with their 30-something veterans carrying them in the fourth quarter. Carmelo Anthony scored five in a row to help erase a four-point deficit. Clinging to a one-point lead in the final minutes, Anthony hit a 3-pointer, got fouled and made the free throw. He finished with 14 points. ''He's done a great job for us all year,'' Lakers coach Frank Vogel said. ''He's brought a great deal of basketball integrity to our team, making sure guys are playing the right way offensively.'' Asked his definition of basketball integrity, Anthony joked, ''Frank be using words.'' Then Anthony explained that it's about his love of the game. ''It's my commitment to the game and being better to myself and my teammates,'' he said. ''That role is going to change night in and night out. I'm still motivated.'' Avery Bradley beat the shot clock to extend the Lakers' lead to 105-100. Monk made one basket in the fourth - a 3-pointer - as the only Laker under age 30 to score in the period. The Lakers ended last year with a 33-point rout of Portland only to start the new year being challenged throughout by the Wolves, who dropped their third in a row and fifth of six. ''We're playing good basketball of late,'' James said. ''Even with some of the losses we've had, we're still trending in the right direction.'' The Wolves won the teams' first two meetings by 24 and 18 points, with James missing the second game. Anthony Edwards scored 18 points for the Wolves in his return from reconditioning after being in COVID-19 protocols. The teams traded leads throughout the fourth, with neither leading by more than seven. The Lakers got sloppy down the stretch. James lost the ball while double-teamed down low. But they caught a few breaks, too. The Wolves were limited to one basket by Edwards in the final minute after he missed others and turned the ball over late. ''We're not here solely just to develop talent,'' Wolves coach Chris Finch said. ''We're trying to win these games.'' Malik Beasley and Patrick Beverley hit back-to-back 3-pointers as part of an 8-0 run early in the third that gave Minnesota a six-point lead. The Lakers ran off 10 straight points, including five by Monk, to take a 76-72 lead. But the Wolves closed on an 8-2 spurt to lead 80-78 going into the fourth. The Lakers blew all of a 10-point lead in the second, allowing a 9-0 run by the Wolves that tied it 45-all. Reid scored 11 points in the quarter, including back-to-back dunks, and his three-point play left the Wolves trailing 57-54 at the break.

A couple of streaks came to an end in the Lakers' first game of the new year: James' run of seven straight games with at least 30 points and Russell Westbrook's stretch of four straight triple-doubles. Westbrook finished with 20 points, three rebounds, five assists and nine of the Lakers' 28 turnovers. ''We did a good job of holding our own, gutting it out,'' said Westbrook, who had just one turnover in the second half. Naz Reid led the Wolves with season highs of 23 points, making 10 of 17 from the floor, and 11 rebounds, the first 20-plus points and 10-plus rebounds effort of his career. Jaylen Nowell added 17 points off the bench. The Lakers (19-19) climbed back to .500, with their 30-something veterans carrying them in the fourth quarter. Carmelo Anthony scored five in a row to help erase a four-point deficit. Clinging to a one-point lead in the final minutes, Anthony hit a 3-pointer, got fouled and made the free throw. He finished with 14 points. ''He's done a great job for us all year,'' Lakers coach Frank Vogel said. ''He's brought a great deal of basketball integrity to our team, making sure guys are playing the right way offensively.'' Asked his definition of basketball integrity, Anthony joked, ''Frank be using words.'' Then Anthony explained that it's about his love of the game. ''It's my commitment to the game and being better to myself and my teammates,'' he said. ''That role is going to change night in and night out. I'm still motivated.'' Avery Bradley beat the shot clock to extend the Lakers' lead to 105-100. Monk made one basket in the fourth - a 3-pointer - as the only Laker under age 30 to score in the period. The Lakers ended last year with a 33-point rout of Portland only to start the new year being challenged throughout by the Wolves, who dropped their third in a row and fifth of six. ''We're playing good basketball of late,'' James said. ''Even with some of the losses we've had, we're still trending in the right direction.'' The Wolves won the teams' first two meetings by 24 and 18 points, with James missing the second game. Anthony Edwards scored 18 points for the Wolves in his return from reconditioning after being in COVID-19 protocols. The teams traded leads throughout the fourth, with neither leading by more than seven. The Lakers got sloppy down the stretch. James lost the ball while double-teamed down low. But they caught a few breaks, too. The Wolves were limited to one basket by Edwards in the final minute after he missed others and turned the ball over late. ''We're not here solely just to develop talent,'' Wolves coach Chris Finch said. ''We're trying to win these games.'' Malik Beasley and Patrick Beverley hit back-to-back 3-pointers as part of an 8-0 run early in the third that gave Minnesota a six-point lead. The Lakers ran off 10 straight points, including five by Monk, to take a 76-72 lead. But the Wolves closed on an 8-2 spurt to lead 80-78 going into the fourth. The Lakers blew all of a 10-point lead in the second, allowing a 9-0 run by the Wolves that tied it 45-all. Reid scored 11 points in the quarter, including back-to-back dunks, and his three-point play left the Wolves trailing 57-54 at the break.
