In a recent NBA regular season game, the Lakers fought hard at home for four quarters, and finally lost to the Spurs 110-138, suffering four consecutive losses. In this game, the Lakers almost only resisted for 9 minutes, after falling behind 19-20 at the end of the first quarter, the Spurs played a wave of small climax to open the score, at the end of the half to 55-66 trailing by 11 points, the third quarter of the Lakers chased the points unsuccessfully, with a 13-point disadvantage into the fourth quarter, and the fourth quarter of the Spurs more and more courageous, they blasted a wave of offensive climax to open the point difference to 25 points, the game into garbage time, the Lakers gave up in advance. James and Westbrook scored 30+ in this game, and the two teamed up to blast a superstar performance of 66 points, 16 rebounds and 10 assists, but unfortunately failed to help the team usher in a victory.
The Spurs scored in double figures with 6 players and 3 scoring 20+, and the entire bench blasted down 66 points to burst the Lakers' second lineup, and the team attack completely crushed the Lakers' defense. On the Lakers side, James played 35 minutes, 15 of 26 shots, 2 of 7 from three points, 4 of 6 from the free throw line, and cut down 36 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks of attack and defense, but unfortunately the team suffered a fiasco. And Westbrook broke out again in the third quarter, 17 points in a single quarter, and the whole game cut 30 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists, bringing very much support to James, and the shooting rate of 12 of 20 on the shooting was also very high, but only the two of them, completely failed to match the Spurs' full blossom, regrettably turned into an empty cut.
In the first half of the game, the Spurs' performance at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends made the Lakers look a little embarrassed, and the Lakers, except for James, no one else can stand up on the offensive end to share the pressure, in the first half James alone scored 23 points, and the Lakers' other players, no one scored doubles.
At the end of the first half, Lakers Nation wrote on social media: "James looks a little angry, but it's hard to blame him"! Indeed, when he tried his best and his other teammates played so badly, how could he blame him for being angry about it?
After losing this game, the Lakers have suffered four consecutive losses, the record of 16 wins and 17 losses fell below 50%, during Vogel's absence, Fitzdale temporarily took over the manager position, the record is an embarrassing 0 win and 3 losses, the performance is very disappointing. Although the absence of thick eyebrows has a very big impact on the Lakers, with James and Westbrook, and with more main players returning after lifting the health and safety agreement, the Lakers will not be difficult to win. In the game, many of Fitzdale's platoon arrangements have also been questioned, especially when playing a small lineup, the last game once put Thomas Jr., Tucker, Rondo, Westbrook and Ariza on the field, such a strange lineup, as a coach should be responsible for this. It was thought that Vogel's absence and Fitzdale's takeover would bring some new weather to the Lakers, but from the current point of view, this is just the beginning of the Lakers' continued to go dark.
