On December 24, Beijing time, the Lakers defeated the Spurs by 28 points at home 110-138, suffering 4 consecutive defeats, it is worth mentioning that the 4 consecutive losses are the Lakers' longest losing sham this season. In this game, the Lakers fell into passivity very early, and the team trailed the Spurs by 9 points in the first quarter. Although the Lakers' performance on the offensive end has improved, the Defensive end has given the Spurs too many opportunities to score easily, which has also led to the score gap being widened, and at most it has been more than 20 points behind the Spurs. In the end, the Lakers lost miserably to the Spurs at home, suffering four consecutive losses, creating the longest losing streak of the season.
The Overall spurs performed well in this game, and many of the team's players had a very good performance in the face of the Lakers' weak defense, including White, Walker and Diop all over 20 points, while Johnson, McDermott and Randale scored in double figures, and Murray sent 13 assists, which was a good tandem with the team's offense.
This game spurs in the Lakers home played a smooth team attack, the team entered the rhythm of the game early, in the offensive end wave after wave to impact the Lakers' defense, under this strong offensive performance, the Lakers are also powerless, the score gap is also quickly opened, and finally the Spurs successfully won a big win on the road, getting two consecutive wins.
On the Lakers side, James's performance in this game continues to shine, he is the best player in the Lakers lineup, this campaign he got 36 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks of 26 shots, filled the data column, in both ends of the attack and defense, tandem the whole team and other aspects have a better play. However, James scored 36 points is useless, the Lakers as a whole is not as good as the Spurs, the intensity at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends can not match the Spurs, which also led to the team eventually lost, suffered 4 consecutive losses.
In fact, in addition to James, Wei Shao's performance in this game is also commendable, he got 30 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists in 12 of 20 shots, he is the best helper around James, and he has a very bright performance in terms of ball holding breakthroughs and shooting. However, it is a pity that in the case of James scoring 36 points and Westbrook 30 points, the Lakers still cannot win at home, other players have not played well, the presence in the game is not very strong, the shooting efficiency is not high, and the role in the defensive end is not large, which has become the main reason for the team to lose the game.
In the past period, the Lakers' state has not been ideal, although Davis' injury has affected the overall strength of the team to some extent. But the Lakers lineup is still luxurious, and they can't have a losing streak because of a core injury. For now, the Lakers are not back on track, the efficiency of the team's offensive and defensive ends is not high, the team lacks competitiveness, and it does not have enough competitiveness. In the follow-up games, the Lakers want to get rid of the losing streak, the team needs to change the lineup, get players suitable for the team's tactical system, so that the Lakers can hope to win more wins in subsequent games. If this continues, the Lakers' losing streak may continue.
