In the game at 4:30 a.m., the Lakers, who are ninth in the West, face the Suns, who are eighth in the West, on the road, and this game is crucial for the Lakers!
The Suns are missing Beal's help, while the Lakers continue to play with an injured lineup of Vincent, Vanderbilt, Reddish and Wood! At the beginning of the game, the Lakers and Suns had a fierce competition, and James scored with a difficult drifting step-back jumper and added points to the team with a beautiful turning dunk! However, as the game progressed, the Lakers lost backcourt rebounds in a row, the Suns were on fire, and the Lakers' defense collapsed! At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers trailed by 17 points at 28-45!
Entering the second quarter, James and Russell launched a counterattack, they quickly played a wave of 7-0 mini-climax, and Russell even scored three consecutive points to help the Lakers recover the score, and the performance of these key moments was impressive! However, at halftime, the Lakers still trailed the Suns 63-72!
At the start of the second half, the Lakers struggled to chase the score, but the strong performances of the Suns' Booker and Durant made it difficult for the Lakers to turn the score around. Despite James' hard work on the court, the Lakers finally lost to the Suns 113-123, and were temporarily overtaken by the Warriors and ranked tenth in the West!
The Lakers players gave it their all in the game, James contributed 28 points, 7 rebounds, 12 assists and 2 steals, Thick Eyebrows scored 22 points, 14 rebounds, 3 steals and 2 blocks, Russell had 20 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists, Reaves contributed 14 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, and Hachimura scored 13 points and 4 rebounds. The Suns' Nurkic was even better in rebounding, contributing 18 points, 22 rebounds and 7 assists.
The Lakers lost in this crucial game, and they want to regain the top eight positions in the West, and the task is extremely difficult! Although there are more home games in the next games, the opponents are very strong. I look forward to the Lakers returning injured players as soon as possible and continuing to work hard for the team's victory!
This game is not only about the team's standings, but also about the mood of the fans. Lakers fans will always support their favorite team, and believe that they will definitely perform better in the next games and fight for the honor of the team!
