More seriously,Jamesmissed two free throws in the third quarter, missed the opportunity to narrow the gap, and instead gave the opponent five points in a row, allowing the Lakers to be suppressed by the opponent again.

ExceptJames, and the fighting spirit of the entire Lakers team is also obviously depressed. This game is a back-to-back battle for the Lakers, and in the absence of Brother Bush, the strength of the team has weakened. Previously withRocketsThe Lakers have made great efforts in a fierce battle, and the physical exhaustion that has not yet recovered and the lack of help from the thick eyebrows have had a great impact on the team's combat effectiveness. Therefore, the Lakers looked a little weak and lacked fighting spirit in this game.

Finally, the Lakers need to regain their confidence and find their winning streak. Although the current record is not ideal, the Lakers still have a chance to change the situation through a winning streak and gradually get out of the predicament.
