It's too much of a bully! The Lakers ended the Knicks' nine-game winning streak with a 113-105 victory, and I actually produced 5 incredible and 3 indisputable facts in this game.
1. James' comeback state is gratifying! He finished with 24 points, five rebounds and five assists on 10-of-19 shooting and 2-of-5 three-pointers. Despite his age, his performance was unaffected. Especially in the fourth quarter, he showed great defensive ability.
2. The thick eyebrows don't score enough, but the rebounding data makes up for the shortcomings! He finished with 12 points, 18 rebounds and five assists, as well as four blocks and one steal on 4-of-12 shooting from the field. While he didn't play well offensively today, his ability to protect the basket on the defensive end was truly amazing.
3. At critical moments, Reeves showed a relentless performance! He finished with 22 points, six rebounds and seven assists on 6-of-13 shooting. At the critical moment, he received a pass from James and hit a crucial three-pointer. It can be said that the fourth quarter is Reeves' stage.
4. Russell's performance is remarkable! He finished with 16 points, one rebound and four assists on 5-of-14 shooting. It's hard to find out where he's not doing well and he played today that fully deserves his salary.
5. Brunson and DiVincenzo do their best! The former had 36 points, six rebounds and 10 assists on 15-of-31 shooting, while the latter had 26 points, six rebounds and four assists on 10-of-22 shooting. They've been good enough without Randall!
1. The Lakers' defensive ability does not only depend on the configuration of the team, but also depends on the all-out efforts of the core players! Just like in this game, the main players at the critical moment took the lead and went all out on the defensive end, and kept a clean sheet against the Knicks for 6 minutes!
2. The Lakers not only defeated the Celtics on the road, but also defeated the Knicks, who recently won nine games in a row. This kind of performance can not only allow the strong team to find their own shortcomings, but also add confidence to the weak team. The Lakers' record is really helping the poor and the rich, and their form is unpredictable.
3. In the final quarter, James played well on both offensive and defensive ends. The Knicks went seven minutes without scoring in the final quarter. Perhaps this is because they are getting older, leaving all their strength in the last section. After all, it's old. #nba#
