LeBron James had 32 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists, and Anthony Davis became the first Laker since Kobe Bryant in 2005-06 to open the season with three straight 30-plus-point games as Los Angeles rode a fourth-quarter surge to down the visiting Sacramento Kings 131-127 on Saturday.<\/p>\n

De’Aaron Fox knocked down a pair of 3-pointers to close the third quarter and send the Kings into the final period with a seven-point lead.<\/p>\n
The Lakers went on a 21-0 run to open the fourth quarter. James scored 16 of those points on a variety of shots, including three 3-pointers. The other five points in the pivotal run came on a Dalton Knecht 3-pointer and a Jaxson Hayes dunk to give Los Angeles a 108-94 lead with 8:23 left in the fourth.<\/p>\n
But Sacramento battled back, outsourcing the Lakers 29-17 to cut the deficit to two points in the final minute. DeMar DeRozan scored 13 of his 23 points during that stretch, which was capped by Malik Monk’s layup with 55.7 left that trimmed Los Angeles’ lead to 125-123.<\/p>\n
