The Warriors catch up with the Lakers, the super dark horse squeezes close to the top 4, and the Clippers suffer a heavy blow?
On February 23, local time in Beijing, the NBA's All-Star Game has entered the white-hot stage! There were 12 exciting events on the day, namely: the Magic, who finished No. 2 in the Eastern Conference after Mitchell's absence, lost the round; The Knicks defeated the 76ers, Dallas suffered a tough matchup, the Eastern European partner scored 70 points, Durant left, and the Dallas Bulls won seven games. In this meeting between the Clippers and the Chargers, the Clippers lost again, and when Tyronn Lue let Harden play in the third quarter, the team completely collapsed! James was absent, Curry and Kuminga, Moodier, Davis, all used fouls to suppress the Lakers' defense, but Klay still failed. On the other hand, it gradually broke away from the ranks of the playoffs and finally determined the final position.
The Clippers have a lot of momentum, while Tyronn Lue is constantly attacking.
The Clippers 107-129 Chargers, led by Harden, have been at a 3-5 deficit from the start of the first half until now, which also included the first half of the third quarter. The key is that Harden was replaced by Wei Shao in 5 minutes of play, which made the Clippers fall behind by 15 points all of a sudden, George's hand speed is relatively slow, Wei Shao's hand speed is also relatively slow, plus the opponent has been pressing Leonard, coupled with Harden's limitations, so the Clippers have been lacking a player who can continue to score, and can only rely on Powell alone. Harden had 17 and six rebounds, Leonard had 20, George had 14 points on 6-of-16 shooting, and Westbrook had two and five assists on 1-of-9 shooting. This season, the Clippers played fourth in the East, 2-6, but I calculated that there were only 4 times, and that was because Harden was replaced by Tyler Luti in the third quarter, could it be for the playoffs? But this is also a great blow to their morale.
The Lakers lost to the Warriors, and their core was broken.
The Lakers lost 110-128 to the Golden State Warriors, and the gap between the two sides was only 58 points! In this game, the Lakers made 21 free throws, while the Warriors made 14, although it was because of the performance of the players of both teams, but throughout the season, the Lakers' restricted area was a hole! Brother Bush's offense was unstoppable, but Kuminga, Moodier, and Davis dunked three times, even Wiggins was difficult to score, and the Lakers' Hayes bench, and eight people, had no power to fight back at all, they continued Curry's high efficiency, scoring 16 points in the first quarter, 25 in the half, and 32 points and 8 rebounds, while Klay was 1 of 9, which did not bring much loss to the game. Wiggins had 20 rebounds, Kuminga had 12 and Davis had 17 five rebounds. For the Lakers, Bross had 27 15 rebounds, Russell had 18 five rebounds and nine assists, and Reaves had 16 four assists.
The first race in the north of the country had very little sunshine.
The Mavericks won the Suns 123-113, and the Suns had a slight advantage in the first half, but in the third quarter, Doncic made three points + two three-pointers to widen the score, Irving did not shoot, the Suns' Booker was still struggling to support, Durant played 40 minutes, but he made more and more mistakes, and his performance became worse and worse, he was 9 of 22, got 23 points, 6 rebounds and 5 turnovers. Especially in the fourth quarter, the Suns completely lost the ability to attack. Doncic 41. 9 rebounds and 11 assists. Irving 29, 5, 3 assists. For the Suns, Booker had 35 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists, and Gordon only had 16, and the Suns didn't play very well overall, and their game became more and more chaotic as the game went on.
