The Lakers have been getting better and better lately, winning five of their last six games, and the team's record has also improved to 15-10, sitting in sixth place in the West, and not far from the teams in front of them, seeing a chance to achieve a higher ranking!
The Lakers are getting better and better, and the team's schedule is also quite strong, the team welcomed the Spurs, who suffered 18 consecutive defeats, and only got 3 wins so far this season, ranking 1st from the bottom of the West, such an opponent, the Lakers have no reason to lose.
Lakers big man thick eyebrows are absent from this game, but James leads the team to play!However, at the beginning of the game, the Spurs obviously entered the state faster, Vassell felt hot, outside 3 points, mid-range shooting, and breakthrough scored points one after another, Wemban also continued to put pressure on the inside, Branham and Keldon also continued to score points inside and outside, the Spurs maintained a super high offensive efficiency, and scored 42 points in the first quarter, while the Lakers obviously did not feel very good, and could only rely on James and Reaves to score points sporadically, and only scored 22 points in the first quarter, and the Spurs opened a 20-point difference in one fell swoop.
The Lakers are in a bad situation, but fortunately, the team didn't give up!James hit a 3-pointer, Reaves and Wood also hit the inside to score points, and the Lakers' offense completely exploded, and the team returned a wave of 38:20 offense, chasing the difference to single digits, only 7 points behind the Spurs at halftime.
Yibian fought again, the Spurs slowed down the offensive rhythm on the court, and in the absence of thick eyebrows, they looked for the Lakers' more disadvantaged interior line, and constantly hit the basket to score points, but the Lakers did not have a good offensive method, and could only rely on the personal ability of James and Hachimura to score points, and the team fell into a disadvantage again on the court, and the Spurs reopened the 11-point gap in the third quarter and occupied the initiative on the court!
With 11 points down, the Lakers are in a bad situation, while the Spurs see a great opportunity to end an 18-game losing streak!Vassell scored 3 points and mid-range shots, and the Lakers' offense was dumb again, and the Spurs broke out directly in a wave, playing a 13:5 offensive to reopen the gap of more than 20 points!In the face of huge backwardness, the Lakers did not give up, Hachimura and Wood led the Lakers to catch up, but the team's defense was too poor to limit Vassell's scoring at all, so that the difference remained above 10 points, and as time went by, the Lakers also lost the possibility of turning the tables, and lost to the Spurs 115:129, causing a big upset.
NBA upset, facing the Spurs, who have lost 18 consecutive games and are ranked 1st from the bottom in the West, the Lakers actually lost the game, this result is really unexpected!
I have to say that the Spurs played really well in this game, with 7 players in the team scoring double-doubles, especially Vassell's hot hand, 12 of 19, including 5 3-pointers, and 36 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assistsKeldon scored 17 points, and Wemban's performance was also brilliant, with 13 points, 15 rebounds and 5 assists, completely dominating the interior initiative and winning for the Spurs.
On the other hand, the Lakers played very badly in this game, and the team was completely dumb from the outside, with a shooting rate of only 306%, especially without thick eyebrows, the team is at a disadvantage on the inside, yes, even though James cut 23+14 comprehensive data in this game, he still failed to save the team and suffered an upset.
With the Lakers losing, their record has also changed to 15-11, and the Clippers have profited, overtaking the Lakers to move to 6th place in the West.
The Clippers had won six in a row with a 14-10 record, and with the Lakers losing, they overtook the record and moved to 6th place in the West!Although the Clippers are ranked 6th, they are only 1 percent away from the Thunder in 3rd placeWith a five-game win-loss difference and only two games away from the second-placed Nuggets, with the team's current winning streak, they have a good chance of breaking into the top 3 and rising again.
