I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it!
James and Thick Eyebrows were absent at the same time for the first time this season, but the Lakers were on the road, knocking down the league's No. 1 Celtics! Give the latter his third home defeat of the season!
In the first half, the Green Army made frequent mistakes, with as many as 12 turnovers in the team, and the starting trio of Porzingis, Jaylen Brown, and Jrue Holiday each made three turnovers.
On the other hand, the Lakers only had 5 turnovers, and led by Reaves Knot on the offensive end, led by firepower on the offensive end, led the Green Army 60-46 in the first half!
Of course, the main reason for the Lakers' lead is their fiery three-point touch. The Lakers shot 13 of 25 three-pointers in the first half (Reaves 5 of 7 and Van der Biao 2 of 3), shooting 52%!
In the second half, the Green Army launched a counterattack, once forcing the score to single digits, but the Lakers withstood the pressure, and Hachimura and Russell made consecutive key three-pointers in the final quarter to seal the victory.
With 2 minutes left in the game, the Green Army, which was 12 points behind, surrendered, removed the starter, and replaced it with a substitute.
In the game of 1 minute and 17 seconds, the Green Army trailed by 13 points, and the camera showed the double tanhua on the bench with a sad face.
It's hard to imagine that the Green Army, the strongest starting lineup in the league, will be beaten by the Lakers and lose their armor!
Brown didn't perform well in this game, scoring only 8 points on 4-of-12 on the offensive end, Tatum was only 8-of-21, White scored 9 points and Holiday scored 8 points, and the returning Boshen got 17 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 5 blocks and 1 steal.
On the Lakers' side, six players scored double-doubles:
Reaves scored 32 points, 19 of which came in the first half, and Russell had a bad hand and scored 16 points on 5-of-20 shooting, but sent 8 rebounds, 14 assists and 2 steals; Hayes got a double-double with 16 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 steals, Hachimura 15 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists, Prince 11 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists, and Vanderbilt contributed 10 points, 7 rebounds and 3 steals from injury!
Summing up the game in one sentence, Lao Zhan's thick eyebrows don't fight, the Lakers three military lives boost morale, Reaves comes to take charge, and I hope that Fan Debiao, who retired from injury, will be fine!
