After 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 are off to an 0-2 start after losing to the Minnesota Timberwolves 117-115 in their season opener.

In his 22nd season, James finished the night with a triple-double, recording 32 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists while shooting 12 of 22 from the field in the win. Anthony Davis scored his third consecutive 30-plus point game, contributing 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, posting 29 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists.

The 3-0 start is the Lakers' first since the 2010-2011 season, when they began an eight-game winning streak under head coach Phil Jackson and NBA legend Kobe Bryant.

Lakers fans praise Redick and his hands-on coaching style in his first year with the Lakers and James in his seventh year with the team.
