Lakers 122, Kings 116

The National Basketball Association returns to Kansas City tonight at 7 p.m., when Portland and Atlanta play an exhibition game at the Sprint Center.

Kansas City lost its NBA franchise in 1985. The league allowed the Kings to move to Sacramento after a 31-51 season, a year KC finished last in the league in attendance. The box score (above) indicates that a crowd of 11,371 watched the Kings play the final game in the West Bottoms.
