Diving for balls, hitting threes, relentless on defense: all of Derek’s trademark skills were on display Sunday during the Lakers 118-108 win over the Sacramento Kings.
Fish finished with 10 points, five assists and a steal while holding his explosive counterpart, Beno Udrih, to eight points.
LATE RUN
Sacramento cut the Lakers’ lead to four in the latter minutes of the fourth quarter, but key plays by No. 2 and Co. held the Kings at bay.
Afterward, Los Angeles coach Phil Jackson commented on the game’s concluding period
“We started the fourth quarter OK, but we ran aground a little bit,” Phil Jackson said. “We turned the ball over and didn’t get back on defense. Sacramento ran themselves back into the game with their quick guards and their young talent But it was a good recovery by the starters. They went out and settled us down and got the game under control.”
