The three game win streak is over, and in relatively embarrassing fashion. The Lakers lost to the Kings Wednesday night at the Crypt by 15 in a game that wasn't that close, really. Final score, 125-110, as the Lakers fell back into all the habits fans hoped they had dropped in Tuesday's win.

Bad first quarter putting themselves deep in a hole? Check.

Too many turnovers? Cheeeeeeeeck, check, check. 23 in total. So much check.

Problems on the defensive glass? Check.

But one thing they thought they were past? A terrible game from Anthony Davis. Because that, for the first time since the season opener, was a big ol' check. Davis himself said as much, even while acknowledging (when prompted and asked about it specifically) that his hip/adductor muscle is still bugging him. He definitely looked uncomfortable, but bottom line? Davis was bad. Offensively, he was a non-entity. Defensively, four blocks are misleading, because Domantis Sabonis had his way with Davis all night.

All players, even superstars, have off nights. But the issue with Davis is that his worst games seem to have a floor that is much lower than other bad games from great players. And the Lakers can't have it.

Meanwhile, what's up with Austin Reaves? He seems to have moved past the stretch of just abjectly awful play on a personal level, but Wednesday was an example of how moving to the wider team context, he's still not on the same page as his teammates often enough.

Maybe the league is continuing to adjust to Reaves, maybe Reaves is pressing, maybe it's just a matter of reps. Maybe all of it. But for the time being, Reaves as floor general isn't working as efficiently as the Lakers want/need.

Something to watch.
