On December 16, Beijing time, the NBA game continued, and teams like the Lakers, Pelicans, Hornets and other teams won the game. The Lakers and the Lone Rangers game, played to overtime, the Lakers 3 points to kill the opponent, the old Zhan cut 24 + 5, played a full 43 minutes, for a 37-year-old veteran, this is also the limit. The Pelicans beat the Thunder 113-110, and Ingram exploded to lead the team to win. And the Game between the Hornets and the Spurs, hornets leader Hayward cut 40+, Jordan did not look at the wrong person, the year to sign Hayward is a wise decision.
Look at the Lakers and Lone Rangers game first, Doncic is absent, the Lakers are still behind in the first half, and in the second half, the two teams are still playing fiercely. At the critical moment, the Lakers trailed by 3 points, and Ellington hit a 3-pointer, and in overtime, the Lakers' big three worked together, and in the final moments of the game, Lakers young Reeves completed a 3-point kill. Old Zhan and Thick Brow and others were completely excited, holding Reeves crazy celebration, at this moment, the young player became the biggest contributor to the Lakers.
James played 43 minutes, 24 points and 5 assists on 9-of-19 shooting, and gave his all, thick-browed brother scored 20 points and 12 rebounds on 8-of-18 shooting, Westbrook had 23 points, 10 rebounds and 9 assists, and substitute Reeves had 15 points and 7 rebounds. The Lakers have won 3 consecutive wins and found the best state, and if they continue to play like this, the Lakers have a good chance of winning the championship. James is still at the end of his peak, and Westbrook is also getting better, and the one who needs to stand up most is Davis, who is the youngest of the Lakers' core players and should show the true colors of the league's first big forward.
The Pelicans beat the Thunder 113-110, a match between the two fishy teams. The Pelicans were still behind the Thunder in the first half, but in the second half, the Pelicans' Ingram exploded, leading the team to reverse the opponent and get a beautiful victory. The Pelicans and Thunder are currently the two worst-scoring teams in the West, with the Rockets in third-to-last, and it looks like the three teams are also fiercely contested.
The Pelicans' Ingram scored 34 points, eight rebounds and four assists on 11-of-21 shooting, and 11-of-15 from the free throw line, And ingram finally broke out, and the Pelicans could make a big move before the trade deadline, and if he continues to slump, it is not excluded that the Pelicans will send him away. Valanciunas scored 19 points and 16 rebounds and also dominated the interior. Alexander of the Thunder cut 33 points and 5 rebounds, the Thunder are in the rebuilding period, Alexander is struggling to support, if he can go to a championship team, I believe he will provide more help.
The Hornets beat the Spurs on the road and won a big win, and the Hornets have a good record this season and have a good chance of making the playoffs. In the first quarter, the Hornets led the Spurs by 15 points at 46-31, and in the third quarter, the Hornets won another 12 points, and in the end, the game was not too suspenseful, the Hornets beat the Spurs 131-115, and currently ranked seventh in the East with a 16-14 loss.
The Hornets' Hayward was in full swing, scoring 41 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists on 15-of-19 shooting, 5-of-6 from three-point range, 6-of-6 from the free throw line, Bridges with 19 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists, Rozier 13 points and 5 assists, and 6 members of the team scored in double figures, hitting 18 three-pointers. Spurs' Forbes scored 25 points and White had 18 points, six rebounds and seven assists. Many of the Spurs' players are outstanding, especially a few guards, that is, they are very strong, but the Spurs lack a superstar, and if they can get an all-star player, the Spurs will definitely be very competitive.
The Nuggets played at home against the Timberwolves, but they were unexpectedly blown up, and the Timberwolves scored 40 points in the first quarter, 8 points ahead of the Nuggets. Both the second and third quarters scored more than 30 points, the offensive end exploded completely, and the final quarter became garbage time. In the end, the Nuggets lost miserably to the Timberwolves.
The Nuggets' Jokic Jokic scored 27 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists, a perfect performance, but the Nuggets did not perform well overall. The Timberwolves' Towns had 32 points, four rebounds and four assists, Edwards had 38 points, five rebounds, and 10-of-14 from three-point range, surpassing Curry to become the first player to hit at least 10 three-pointers this season, russell with 16 points, eight rebounds and seven assists. It has to be said that the Timberwolves' champion Edwards is too strong, and his current personal ability is even stronger than Downs, and he has the opportunity to become a superstar in the NBA in the future.
And when it comes to today's best players, James cut 24+5, Ingram 34+8+4, Hayward 41+5 and Jokic 27+10+11, they all qualify for today's best player. But the Timberwolves' Edwards were too strong, and went on a complete rampage, hitting 10 three-pointers and slashing 38+5, breaking Curry's single-game three-point record this season, and Curry had hit 9 three-pointers in four attempts. Edwards was elected the best player of the day without any suspense.
