The Lakers suffered another loss in the NBA regular season, this time losing to the Timberwolves 106-108. In this game, the Lakers failed to salvage the situation at a critical moment, resulting in an eventual loss. It is worth mentioning that the Lakers have only 2 wins and 8 losses against the top six teams in the West this season, beating the Thunder and Clippers respectively.
In the final moments of the game, the Lakers missed a chance to equalize or overtake the score, which also raised questions about the team's tactics and the performance of the players. In the post-match interview, coach Ham talked about the final attack, alluding to the referee's failure to award a penalty for physical contact. At the same time, the team's tactical arrangements have also been questioned, and people have begun to pay attention to the coach's tactical thinking and the team's coordination.
In addition, the team's role players are also inconsistent, which has also become a major problem for the Lakers. In this game, except for James and Thick Eyebrows, the scoring performance of the other players was not satisfactory. It is worth noting that the Lakers can only rely on the play of James and thick eyebrows at the moment, while the offensive efficiency of other players is relatively low. Faced with such a dilemma, the Lakers may be making a trade in the near future in the hope of improving the roster.
Otherwise, they will have a hard time achieving the desired results in the playoffs.
