Following the Los Angeles Lakers’ 131-127 victory over the Sacramento Kings on Saturday night, fans praised veteran LeBron James and first-year head coach JJ Redick for leading the team to a 3-0 start.

The Kings have fallen to an 0-2 start after a 117-115 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves in their season opener.

In his 22nd season, James finished the night with a triple-double, recording 32 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists, shooting 12 of 22 from the field in the victory. Anthony Davis posted his third straight game with 30+ points, tallying 31 points, nine rebounds and two blocks.

On the other side of the court, Domantas Sabonis led the Kings with a triple-double of his own, adding 29 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists.

The 3-0 start is the Lakers’ first since the 2010-11 season, when they began an eight-game winning streak under head coach Phil Jackson and NBA legend Kobe Bryant.

Lakers fans are praising Redick and his hands-on coaching style in his first year with the Lakers, joining James in his seventh year with the team.
