On December 24, Beijing time, the Spurs played against the Lakers, and the Whole Game ended with the Lakers losing to the Spurs and losing the game. Although the Lakers are missing Ariza in this game, the Lakers must try to win no matter what, because the Lakers' opponents will be stronger, so the Lakers need to win this game to stop their losing streak. But in this game, the Lakers still did not perform well, their bad lineup was completely intrusive on the defensive end, and the Spurs were getting bigger and bigger in the game, and finally the Lakers suffered a 28-point defeat.
In the first half of the game, the Lakers were still able to play with the Spurs at the beginning of the game, but as the game progressed, the Lakers' offensive status declined, and at this time, the Lakers had loopholes in the defensive end, the Spurs seized the opportunity to expand the lead, and then Although James stood up to help the team stop the bleeding, but there was a lack of helpers around, the Spurs continued to occupy a big score lead, but at the end of the second quarter, Wei Shao, Anthony had a play to chase the score, and the Lakers fell behind by 11 points at the end of the half. In the second half of the game, although the Lakers played a role in the offensive end, Wei Shao played an explosive performance in the third quarter of the game, but because the Lakers had no way to prevent the Spurs' attack, the Lakers were still 13 points behind at the end of the third quarter. In the fourth quarter of the game, the Lakers not only could not prevent the Spurs, but also had problems on the offensive end, and finally the Lakers helplessly lost the game.
It can be said that this game the Lakers let the Spurs score too easily, the outbreak of the outside three points, the advantage on the inside line makes the Lakers difficult to overwhelm, and in this game, the Spurs not only have some good performances as starters, substitute players also have a good play, and the Spurs are also 6 people scoring in double figures at the end of the game. Johnson had 16 points and 10 rebounds, McDermott had 13 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist, White had 23 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists, Walker had 21 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists, Diop had 30 points and 7 rebounds, and Randale had 13 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists.
Wei Shao in this game is really trying his best, if it is not Wei Shao in the third quarter of the game to play an explosive performance, then the Lakers may be at the end of the third quarter of the game will be in a big score behind, but the Lakers in the fourth quarter of the game or collapsed as scheduled, after all, the Lakers in the fourth quarter of the game put a small lineup, and such a lineup attack is not in the Lakers completely do not resist. Westbrook finished the game with 30 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists, including 17 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists on 7-of-9 shooting in the third quarter. And James also tried his best in this game, but there was no way to help the team win, and at the end of the game, James got 36 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists.
It can be said that the Lakers have such a situation is really self-inflicted, because the lakers now have too many problems, the problems on the defensive end are needless to say, the offensive end is also very depressed, and more importantly, the Lakers also have some problems in the momentum, and the Lakers are completely invisible to the lakers' aggressiveness on the court, and in this game, the Lakers are really letting the Spurs beat violently, and the Lakers' platoon deployment is really problematic, so the Lakers' fiasco is really self-inflicted. So the current Lakers are certainly limited by the lineup, but if the Lakers can't find their own aggression, then the Lakers may really have no way to stop their losing streak.
