March 30th News: Today, the Lakers lost on the road to the Pacers, while the Kings lost at home to the Mavericks.

In response, NBA reporter Sam Quinn commented on Twitter: "The Lakers need the Mavericks or the Kings to sweep each other in their two consecutive matchups this week. It doesn't really matter who gets swept. Sure enough, the Mavericks took away both victories.
