In this game, the Lakers' core players thick eyebrows, Reddish, and Russell, chose to take turns to rest, which made the whole game fall into huge variables. In the first quarter, the Lakers trailed 22-42, and they launched a strong comeback in the second quarter when it seemed like they were fighting back.

Although James has performed well in assists, in the face of the Spurs' strong lineup, whether the Lakers can finally fight back will be revealed in the next chapter. This competition is not only a sports event, but also an excellent performance about team struggle and individual struggle.
In the opening game, the Spurs' three-pointer stabbed the heart like a sword into the heart of the Lakers, who trailed by 20 points in the first quarter. Although thick eyebrows, Reddish, and Russell chose to take turns to rest, the Lakers fell into the dilemma of the leader's absence, LeBron tried to make up for the vacancy, but the opponent's god-accurate three-point made it difficult for the Lakers to work. Reaves had a strong first quarter and was the Lakers' only scoring highlight.
In the second quarter, the Lakers tried to **, LeBron showed strong individual ability after the timeout, and James' assist quickly closed the gap for the team. The solid defense of the Spurs lineup made it difficult for the Lakers to continue to fight back. Reaves was in a slump on the offensive end, and the Lakers' predicament became more and more apparent.
As the game entered the third quarter, the Lakers were once again violently attacked by the Spurs, and the point difference widened again. LeBron was hit in the face three times in a row during the game, which affected his form to a certain extent. Although Reaves came to prominence again in the third quarter, James was slightly tired. The Lakers looked a little overwhelmed in the face of the Spurs' strong comeback.
In the final quarter, the Lakers tried to salvage the slump, but the Spurs held firmly on the lead and eventually extended the margin to 20 points. Although James contributed 23 points, 14 assists, 7 rebounds and 2 steals in 36 minutes, all this still could not change the fate of the Lakers.

James put in a lot of effort in the game and set a new assist record for himself, but the stubborn resistance of the opponent made it difficult for the Lakers to fight back.
