LOS ANGELES (AP) — Anthony Davis had 36 points, 15 rebounds and eight assists in the Los Angeles Lakers' 132-122 win over Sacramento on Saturday night in the Kings’ first game under interim coach Doug Christie.

LeBron James didn’t play for the Lakers because of illness, but a balanced effort helped make up for his absence, led by Austin Reaves with 26 points and a career-high 16 assists. Rui Hachimura had 21 points, Max Christie chipped in with 16 and Dalton Knecht had 18 off the bench.

Playing for the first time since Mike Brown was fired on Friday in controversial fashion, De’Aaron Fox led the Kings with 29 points and 12 assists, and DeMar DeRozan had 25 points.

Los Angeles erupted for 12 straight points to end the third and start the fourth to open up a 20-point advantage.

Sacramento got it to 123-117 with less than four minutes to go, but Reaves and Christie made sure the home team held on.

In Portland, Shaedon Sharpe had 23 points, Anfernee Simons scored 22 and the Portland Trail Blazers held off the Dallas Mavericks 126-122.

Deandre Ayton had 21 points, 16 rebounds and three blocks and Deni Avdija had 21 points, five rebounds and five assists. Scoot Henderson had 19 points, four rebounds, six assists and a career-high five steals off the bench.

Kyrie Irving led all scorers with 46 points and was the only consistent offensive threat for the Mavericks who were playing without Naji Marshall, PJ Washington — suspended for their involvement in an on-court fight against the Suns — Luka Doncic and Dereck Lively II.

Irving had 20 points in the fourth quarter as Dallas tried to mount a comeback that ultimately fell short.

Meanwhile, The NBA suspended Dallas Mavericks forward Naji Marshall for four games and Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic for three games for their roles in an on-court fight during Friday night's game.

Dallas forward P.J. Washington was suspended one game. The suspensions handed down Saturday are without pay.

Suns coach Mike Budenholzer said before Saturday's game against the Warriors that he accepted the league's decision.

“We want to support Nurk in every way we can,” Budenholzer said. “He’s a great teammate.”

Nurkic was called for an offensive foul while being guarded by Daniel Gafford with 9:02 left in the third quarter before the altercation quickly escalated. Nurkic confronted Marshall before taking an open-handed swing at his head and then Marshall responded with a punch. Washington quickly shoved Nurkic to the ground before the teams were separated.

All three were ejected from the game. The Mavericks went on to win 98-89.

The NBA said Marshall “attempted to further engage Nurkic in a hostile manner in the corridor outside the locker rooms.”

“You never want these things to even escalate to probably the point that it did, and the concern about any other continued situation is not good for anybody,” Budenholzer said referring to Marshall's actions.

“The way our arenas are set up, I think we all have to be aware and just do our best to keep our players — when the emotions get high like that — try and get them to a good, safe place,” he later added.

Marshall and Washington were out for Saturday’s game against the Trail Blazers. Nurkic’s suspension also began Saturday when the Suns faced the Warriors. Mason Plumlee and Oso Ighodaro got the bulk of the playing time at center in Nurkic’s absence.

“He’s a physical bruiser, great screen-setter, great rebounder,” guard Tyus Jones said. "We know the physical presence he brings, so we’re going to have to make that up. But at the same time, we know Mason and Oso are ready to step up for us.”

Mavs coach Jason Kidd said after Friday’s game that the players were “just protecting each other."

“It’s appropriate that we’d go by what the league handed out,” he said Saturday night in response to the suspensions. "Next two guys up, we move forward.”
