James scored 19 points in the last quarter to become a god, and the Lakers defeated the Clippers in a big reversal!
During this time, the Clippers did not do well, they participated in eight All-Star weekends, but only got four wins, their record has slipped to 37-19, from first in the East to fourth in the West, and the first Timberwolves pulled away by 35 games away, the situation is terrible!
The main reason why the Clippers' results are so poor is that their main players Xiaoka and Harden are not in good shape, which has led to a decline in the team's offense and defense, so they must find a way to recover their disadvantage.
And this time, they are facing a very strong team, and that is the Lakers! The Lakers are now 31-28, 10th in the West, and will definitely not fall out of the 10th, although they maintain a certain distance from the 11th place Jazz, but the 10th place team, to make the playoffs, is almost impossible, therefore, they desperately want to win, want to get the ninth or eighth place, in that case, they have a better chance of entering the playoffs.
In this game, the main players of the Clippers, George and Zubac, did not play, but Tyronn Lue's play, but did not affect the Clippers' offense, Xiaoka continued to score on the inside, Mann also shot in it, the Lakers scored three points in a row, at the beginning of the first quarter, the two teams went back and forth, no one took advantage, at the end of the first quarter, the Clippers only led by one point. In the second quarter, the situation on the court suddenly changed, Harden found his feelings, he kept breaking through, constantly breaking through, Harden alone cut 16 points, and Harden was a one-man force, completely controlled the rhythm of the whole game, and they ended the first half with a 14-point advantage!
In the second quarter of the game, the Clippers still maintained a double-digit lead, but soon, they exploded, three three-pointers in a row, and Powell also hit a three-pointer, which made the Clippers work harder and stretched the gap to 21 points!
With a 21-point lead, with less than 1 minute left, the Lakers are in a desperate situation and it will be difficult for them to win! But the Lakers didn't stop there, James was also in a big swing in the final quarter, he hit five three-pointers in a row, plus Russell and Barton, the Lakers played a 34-10 climax. Towards the end of the game, the Clippers did not give up, but Russell's three-pointer from the outside helped the team win, and finally the Lakers won 116-112 with their performance in the final quarter!
After leading the Clippers by 21 points, the Lakers played against their local rival Clippers, and they played an incredible scene in the fourth quarter to overtake the score by 21 points!
The Lakers were able to come back from defeat to win in this game, and James' performance was outstanding! James played 37 minutes, scored 34 points, 6 rebounds, 8 assists, especially in the final quarter, he scored 19 points alone, and also hit 5 3-pointers, it was like a person on the court to turn the tide and give up the victory of the game to the Lakers! Brown had 20 points and 12 boards, Russell had 18 points and six assists, and Hatch had 17 points.
On the other hand, the Clippers, their performance in this game was a little unsatisfactory, they relied on their own strength, leading by a large score, but in the third quarter, they were completely silent, they scored 16 points, a net loss of 23 points, this is not a loss to the Lakers, but a loss to themselves! Harden scored 23 points and 9 assists, and he was in good shape, but in the third quarter, he was completely silent and finally failed to salvage the defeat.
