On December 26, Beijing time, the Los Angeles Lakers hosted the challenge of the Boston Celtics at home!
The much-anticipated Christmas game was hyped up before the game, and James's various records were also turned over, and James was at the top of several key data rankings.
- The total number of points scored in the Christmas game, James is No. 1
- The number of appearances in the Christmas War, James is the No. 1
- James is the No. 1 in the number of goals scored in the Christmas game
In short, James's various records in the Christmas War can be regarded as historic, and judging from the current situation, it can really reach the level of no one before and no one after him!
But in today's game against the Celtics, James' performance was not very ideal!
In the first quarter of the game, the Lakers had a bad start, and as soon as they came up, they were beaten by the Celtics with a 12-0 offensive climax
It wasn't until the 9th minute of the game that Reddish hit a long-range three-pointer to stop the bleeding
In the 5th minute and 30th minute of the game, Porzingis scored a layup on the road, and the Green Army extended its lead to 15 points again.
After that, although James scored points on both free throws, Tatum's ultra-long three-pointer extinguished the Lakers' hopes.
In the next few minutes, both teams scored in quick succession, but the Greens remained firmly in control of the situation.
At the end of the first quarter, the Green Army led the Lakers 32-23!
In the second quarter of the game, the offensive state of the Lakers' side was okay-
Prince scored 11 points in a single quarter, and the entire second quarter can be said to be Prince leading his teammates
Although Zhan Mei also made a good contribution, the consumption of the first quarter of the game made both of them play quite average.
In the third quarter of the game, the Celtics were in a burst of state, scoring 41 points in a single quarter.
Tatum scored 8 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block in this quarter.
Porzingis also finished with 13 points, four rebounds and one block in the third quarter
With the excellent play of these two people, the Green Army took the situation back in the third quarter of the game.
In the fourth quarter of the game, the Lakers completely wiped out their hopes of winning in the first two and a half minutes.
At the beginning of the game, although the Green Army took the lead in scoring, the difference between the two sides was still in single digits.
However, by the time the game reached 9:33, Holiday scored to bring the difference between the two teams to 10 points.
For the rest of the game, the Lakers couldn't get the score back.
With one minute left in the game, White dunked in the air to give the Greens a 126-115 lead over the Lakers
In the next 1 minute, neither team scored, and the Lakers' thick eyebrows, Reaves and Prince all tried various three-pointers, but to no avail, none of them hit!
In the end, the Celtics defeated the Lakers 126-115 and won the Christmas game!
In terms of statistics, the Celtics have a total of 6 players scoring in double figures
Tatum chipped in 25 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists, and Brown handed in 19 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists
Porzingis performed really well today, scoring 28 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, completely dominating the game on both offensive and defensive ends.
In addition, White chipped in 18 points and 11 assists, Holiday chipped in 18 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists, and Pritchard also scored 10 points off the bench.
From the point of view, the Celtics played really united today, whether it was the excellent state of the starting lineup, or the efforts of the substitute players, and winning this victory, the morale of the Celtics team can be boosted a lot!
On the Lakers' side, the team's overall performance is not very ideal
Davis ushered in a big burst of form today, contributing 40 points, 13 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 block
James finished with 16 points, nine rebounds and eight assists on just 5-of-14 shooting today
Prince scored 17 points, Hachimura had 12 and Reeves had 11
After the change of lineup in the last game was effective, the Lakers also used the lineup from the previous game in this game.
However, when facing the strong Celtics, the weakness of this lineup's poor offensive ability was completely exposed.
In addition, Lao Zhan's sluggish state is also one of the main reasons for the fiasco in this game, although there were various touts before the game, but Lao Zhan did pull his hips in this game, I hope he can make persistent efforts!
Fans and friends, do you think the Lakers can still make the playoffs this season?Welcome to discuss!
