On December 24, Beijing time, the Lakers hosted the Spurs, which was the last game of the Purple and Gold Army under the name of staples center, and the Lakers also invited Holly, Artest, Scott, Gary Payton, Wharton Jr., who had played for the team, to the scene to stand with the Lakers' 22-year championship glory and bid a solemn farewell to Staples. However, the Lakers not only failed to win this game, but also were beaten by the Spurs 138-110, which was really embarrassing.
James tried his best, scoring 23 points in the first half, 15 of 26 three-pointers, 7 of 2 free throws, 4 of 6 free throws, 36 points, 9 boards, 6 assists, 1 break and 2 blocks of comprehensive data, both offensive and defensive ends of the game as a father and a mother. This is already the ninth time James has cut a 30+ in the last 13 games, and there is no way to ask the upcoming 37-year-old James to do more.
Wei Shao also poured out all his money, 7 of 9 in the third quarter scored 17 points, the same 20 of 12 efficient cut 30 points, 7 boards and 4 assists, the Lakers two stars combined 66 points, helpless teammates to give help is really limited. In contrast, the Spurs, the whole team has 6 people to score in double figures, the whole field outside the multi-point blossom hit 18 three-pointers, while the Lakers only hit 5 of the 27 shots, James and Westbrook are really lacking helpers at the moment.
It is worth mentioning that after losing this game, the Lakers have suffered 4 consecutive losses, and the record has reached 16 wins and 17 losses, and the winning rate has fallen below 50%. Fortunately, the Lone Rangers and Nuggets also lost at the same time today, which makes the Lakers still rank 6th in the West, but it may fall out of the top eight in the West at any time.
