The Lakers were defeated by the Suns! Two players were blamed, and Hamere made a disappointment
On February 26, Beijing time, the Suns defeated the Lakers 123-113 at home, and the Suns scored more than double digits: Allen 24 points, Durant 22 points, Booker 21 points, O'Neal 20 points, 10 rebounds, 18 points and 22 rebounds, Nurkic 18 points, 22 rebounds, and 11 points off the bench. Five Lakers scored in double figures! James had 28 points and 12 assists, Davis had 22 and 14 steals, Russell had 20 points, Reaves had 14 and Hachimura had 13 points, and no player had more than double figures. In the first quarter, the Suns did not perform well at the beginning, but in the following time, the Suns gradually widened the difference, especially Booker's magical performance, which stretched the difference to 45 points, and the Lakers were already thrown away by the Suns by 17 points in the first quarter. In the second quarter, the Lakers launched **, chasing the score to single digits at one point, but the Suns continued to maintain the offensive and continued to expand in the restricted area. Under Russell's leadership, the Lakers trailed the margin to 13 points at halftime, and by this time the Lakers were already nine points behind the Suns.
In the third quarter, the Suns launched a wave of offensive and once opened a 14-point lead, but under the Lakers' crazy counterattack, they quickly recovered 2 points, and after entering the second half, the Suns once again extended the lead with a perfect touch, but after three quarters, the Lakers only trailed by 5 points; In the fourth quarter, the Suns were leading all the time, and the two teams began a tug-of-war for a while, with the Suns holding the upper hand and the Lakers losing. It is worth mentioning that the Lakers' two biggest "parallel goods" have also been put on the table, first Dinwiddie played 27 minutes, 3 of 10, scoring only 8 points, and then Dinwiddie also joined the Lakers, everyone thought he could take the Lakers on the right track, but he was in 23 minutes, 1 of 5, only 3 points, and statistically, Dinwiddie has played 5 games for the Lakers, averaging 25 points per game. 3 minutes, with an average playing time of 25 minutes, his average playing time is 253 minutes, an average of 48 points 34 assists, but he shot a measly 23 from the field5%, which makes the Lakers' defense look a little stretched.
For Lakers head coach Darvin Darvin Ham, although he is out of danger of being fired, there are still some flaws in his tactical system, so it's not surprising that Ham is leaving at the end of the season. Ham said in a post-match interview that the game was lost, saying: "The referee blew it too often and too quickly, and I didn't want to defend him, but this time the criteria were different, and that led to the outcome of the game." In this game, the Lakers had 14 fouls and 8 free throws, and the Suns had 12, a total of 19 free throws, although the Suns made many more free throws than the Lakers, but Ham's words made everyone very dissatisfied, it was obviously a win-win game, and the referee could not be blamed for losing.
Finally, the Lakers' center Caston was injured, and today the Lakers officially announced that Caston has an injury to his right wrist and will be re-examined in two weeks, and he will not replace Bulrows with Ham Caston, and it is very likely that he will be plagued by DNP because of a fracture, which is also bad luck for the Lakers. It's the only way they can make the playoffs.
