On March 7, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, and the Lakers played against the Kings at home. This time, the Lakers came up with a good momentum, and quickly established a lead, once taking a 19-point lead, but then the team suddenly began to mute, and the King broke out wildly, directly blasting out a wave of 59-20 offensive, establishing a lead of 22 points at most, and the Lakers were unable to catch up after that. In the end, the Lakers lost 120-130 to the Kings and lost the ninth place in the West.
In this game, the Lakers got into the groove early and completely suppressed the Kings in the first quarter, once taking a 37-18 lead, but at the last moment, the Kings suddenly found their touch and first played a wave of 10-0 offense. In the second quarter, the Kings were unstoppable, and they launched a 44-20 offensive in a single quarter, directly from a 19-point deficit to a 15-point lead, and the Lakers also fell into complete passivity after that, trailing by up to 22 points at most, and James also retired early in the final quarter, and the Lakers were unable to catch up, and finally lost to the Kings 120-130.
This time, the Lakers also lost a good game, and played so well at the beginning, but they didn't expect the team to be completely lost and completely passive, so that the King's Fox was directly blown up. Originally, the Lakers had a chance to win the game, and the team felt good, but they didn't expect to be completely suppressed by the opponent in the second quarter, losing by 24 points in a single quarter, and the situation has also changed significantly, from leading by 19 points to trailing by up to 22 points, which is quite rare.
What worries the Lakers even more is that James also retired early with an injury, and returned directly to the locker room in the last 4 minutes and limped away, which is somewhat worrying. This time, James' performance was still very strong, shooting 10-of-16 and 10-of-10 from the free-throw line, scoring a team-high 31 points and 13 assists, really doing his best. Davis failed to play this time and was not in great shape, finishing with only 14 points and 11 rebounds. Hachimura exploded this time, scoring 29 points on 13-of-17 shooting, but unfortunately did not help the team win the game.
The Kings played well this time, especially the core of the team, Fox, who directly blew up the Lakers, scoring 44 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists in the whole game, and it really broke out as soon as the Lakers were hit. And Sabonis Jr. also beat Davis completely, handing over a triple-double of 16 points, 20 rebounds and 12 assists. In his career, Xiao Sa has achieved a 9-0 record against Davis, and it seems that Davis has to work hard.
