The NBA regular season continues, and the much-talked-about year-end battle is over, but compared to previous games, this year's game is slightly star-studded, and many players under the health and safety agreement have not been able to play. The Warriors are missing players such as Mouth Brother and Poole, and the Nets Are Absent from Durant, Joha and Irving. But the final result of the game can be said to be somewhat unexpected. The standings also changed after the game, with the NBA ranking updated: the Warriors returned to number one, the Lakers fell to no. 8 in five straight losses, and the Bucks were third in the East.
Both the Warriors and the Suns have maintained a strong momentum from the season to date, with the two teams leading the standings in turn, after the Suns surpassed the Suns in a five-game winning streak to rank first. The Christmas battle between the two teams has also become one of the focus of attention, but before that, the Warriors' lineup has been affected, and the team's number two, three and four scorers Wiggins, Poole, Damien Lee can not attend the game because of health and safety agreements, and the opposite Suns lineup is in order.
The most important point is that the Warriors core Curry's performance in the past Christmas war is not ideal, which also makes the Warriors not optimistic about such a game. The game was very glued, although the opening Warriors performed well but the Suns adjusted in time, and the two teams alternated to lead. The fourth quarter became a turning point in the game, curry and Porter controlled the fourth quarter of the game, Curry 10 points in the first half of the quarter, Porter in the second half of the three consecutive quarters of the 10-point harvest game to help the Warriors beat their opponents to win the game. The Warriors returned to the top of the table again with a 27-6 loss.
Compared to the Warriors' performance, the lakers' recent performances, which are highly concerned, are quite bleak. Previously, they suffered four consecutive defeats, in the annual war, Zhan Wei led the Lakers against hardened single-core led nets, when everyone felt that the Lakers had the opportunity to end the losing streak, but their performance was...
In the first quarter of the game, the pit was dug, and the offense could not enter the defense. After leveling the score in the third quarter, they staged the "Lake Three Collapse" again at one point behind the Nets by 23 points. In the fourth quarter of the game, James led the Lakers to play a wave of 17-0 to narrow the point difference, and the two teams returned to the same running line in the last two minutes of the game, but the Lakers did not seize the opportunity, Westbrook lost the key dunk, the Nets took the opportunity to open the score, and finally the Lakers lost to the remnants of the Nets.
The Lakers let Harden cut 36+10310 and make 17 free throws, while letting Mills hit eight three-pointers from the outside to cut a 34+7 stat. After losing the game against the Nets, the Lakers fell to no. 8 in the West, with only 16 wins and 17 losses. Experimenting for so long can only say that the Lakers' extreme five small can not bring them victory, but also increase James's consumption. The Lakers' schedule in the second half will be one of the hardest teams in the league, and how to solve the current dilemma is something the Lakers need to consider, otherwise they will not even be able to advance to the playoffs.

However, their advantages are not much, and the Bulls, Bucks, Heat and other teams behind them are chasing after them. The Bucks' game can stage a big reversal, the whole game they are in a state of chasing points, trailing by nearly 20 points at the most, but with 29 points in the second half, they caught up with their opponents in the final moments of the game, Matthews hit the key three points, Middleton's key free throw, and the Bucks reversed to win. The Bucks came in third place in the East with 22 wins and 13 losses, just two wins away from the Nets.
