The Lakers today beat the Timberwolves 108-103 to take their first win of 2022.
The Lakers and Timberwolves are very close to the record, the Lakers are eighth in the West, the Timberwolves are in the ninth place in the West, if the Lakers lose to the Timberwolves today, it is likely to fall out of the top eight in the West, but fortunately they won today.
He finished with 26 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals.
In addition to James, Munch was also brilliant today, playing 33 minutes and scoring 22 points on 8-of-14 shooting. Westbrook played 33 minutes today, with 20 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists on 7-of-16 shooting, but made nine turnovers. Anthony played 29 minutes and scored 14 points on 5-of-10 shooting. Bradley played 28 minutes and had 14 points, 4 rebounds and 4 steals on 5-of-7 shooting.
For James, despite 7 consecutive 30+ interruptions, he is still the highest scoring player on the team today, and only 4 points away from 30+. If James continues to get 30+ today and shoots more than 50% from the field, he will get 80+ in 8 consecutive games and set his career record. At the age of 37, it is incredible to be able to set a new career record.
After today's game, James is still averaging 28.5 points per game this season, second in the league. In addition, James still averaged 37 minutes per game, ranking third in the league, behind VanVleet and Durant.
In the past December, James's personal performance was particularly outstanding, averaging 30 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists per game, but unfortunately, the Lakers' record was not strong, and the winning rate was less than 50%, so James is unlikely to become the player of the month.
