In today's Lakers game against the Kings, the Lakers won with a score of 122-114.
Lakers player Westbrook had 19 points, seven rebounds and two assists on 7-of-19 shooting in the game.
And the most surprising thing is that Westbrook made 0 turnovers in this game, which was his first time this season.
As we all know, Westbrook has averaged 4.8 turnovers per game this season, making it a notorious mistake king.
It's been a long time since Westbrook's last 0-turnover game, when Durant was still thundering.
Munch, another player in the Lakers, also performed well, scoring 24 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists on 8-of-15 shooting, including 6-of-11 three-pointers, providing the Lakers with plenty of outside firepower.
In fact, in the past 5 games, Munch has a stable output, the last 5 games of the average score per game reached 20+, three-point shooting rate is also more than 40%.
For the Lakers, who have always had a poor three-pointer, Munch's shooting ability is extremely important, not to mention his ability to break through and handle the ball.
It is worth mentioning that Munch's annual salary is only $1.79 million, which is a typical representative of low-paid high-energy players.
In this game, Howard, a Lakers player who has not appeared for a long time, finally got the opportunity to play.
In the first half alone, Howard had 12 points and eight rebounds on 5-of-8 shooting, which was excellent.
With Howard in place, not only improving the height of the interior line, but also ensuring rebounds, the problem of the previous few crazy offensive rebounds is no longer there.
This is also puzzling, why is it that such a good Howard, the Lakers do not give him a chance to play?
Personally, I think it is because of Wei Shao, if Howard plays, the Lakers' space is not enough, Wei Shao can not burst in, in short, sparks and Wei Shao are incompatible.
Not letting Howard play is likely to be the Lakers' sake to take care of Westbrook.
