Kings ruin LeBron James' return to Lakers with 10-point fourth-quarter comeback

James flashed his usual brilliance, but it wasn't enough in this one

LeBron James took the floor for the first time since March 20 on Friday, but the Sacramento Kings spoiled his return. Despite trailing by 10 points entering the fourth quarter and missing their two best players, De'Aaron Fox and Harrison Barnes, the Kings managed to upset the Lakers in a 110-106 comeback victory. The loss stings for a Lakers team that is fighting to avoid the play-in round of the postseason. At 36-27, they are now tied with the Dallas Mavericks in the loss column. Dallas has the tiebreaker over them, and with the Portland Trail Blazers only a game behind, the Lakers are suddenly in serious danger of falling into the play-in round.  But with nine games remaining, they are at least back to something resembling full strength. Ultimately, seeding doesn't matter much more a healthy defending champion. So with James' first game back now in the books, here are the most important takeaways for a Lakers team still trying to find its footing as the regular season draws to a close.
