In the NBA regular season, the Lakers narrowly defeated the Spurs 122-119, and this focus game was full of ups and downs. At first, the Lakers led by 18 points at one point, and it looked like the Spurs couldn't reverse their losing streak. However, there was a dramatic turn in the final quarter, and Wembanyama's Spurs showed great explosiveness and almost turned the tide of battle.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Thick Mei completed a decisive steal to help the Lakers win a thrilling victory, avoiding a losing streak and ending the longest losing streak in Spurs history. At the start of the game, the Lakers led by 18 points, and as we entered the fourth quarter, everyone thought the game might quickly go into garbage time, including the commentators.
However, the Spurs gradually closed the gap through consecutive scores from players such as Osman, Keldon and Vassell. Wembanyama's three-pointers and free throws put the Spurs down by just two points with 50 seconds left in the game, and then Reaves' missed shot gave the Spurs a chance to fight back. Wembanyama made one of two free throws to put the Spurs down by just one point and have 21 remaining9 seconds of time.
However, Wembanyama was then whistled for a foul and the Spurs challenge failed. In the end, Brother Bush stepped up, hit both free throws, and completed a steal at a critical moment to help the Lakers win. Brother Thick Mei scored 37 points, 10 rebounds and 4 steals in this game, and performed well. In James' absence, the play of the thick eyebrows is crucial.
In particular, the Lakers seem to have slackened a bit after winning the midseason, after all, the team's tense nerves are not as good as the Mavericks. However, beating Spurs in this game may be able to get them back on their feet. At the same time, this game also clearly demonstrated the importance of James to the Lakers. Despite approaching 39 years old, James is still indispensable.
In addition to scoring and assists, James was able to stabilize the situation in key moments, unlike the dangerous fourth quarter of this game. Next, the Lakers will face the Spurs, Knicks, Bulls, and the league's No. 1 Timberwolves, and expect them to maintain a consistent performance.
