The Lakers today won 122-114 at home against the Kings to make a three-game winning streak.
James scored 14 points in the final quarter today, played 36 minutes, and shot 12-of-26, including 3-of-10 three-pointers and 4-of-5 free throws, with 31 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, the eighth time in his last nine games that he has scored 30+.
Westbrook also did well today, starting 34 minutes, shooting 7-of-19, 0-of-1 from three-point range, 5-of-8 free throws, and 19 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists. Although Westbrook only delivered 2 assists today, a new season low, he did not make a single mistake, which was also the first time this season.
It is worth mentioning that in today's game, Westbrook has made 407 consecutive regular-season mistakes, the longest record since 1977 began recording error data, but this record was ended today. After Westbrook's record was ended, the longest record for mistakes is Harden's 239 consecutive games.
With 407 consecutive games of errors, Westbrook's last zero turnover was on March 15, 2016, when he was still playing for the Thunder and Durant hadn't left the Thunder. In addition, Wei Shao has only had one game this season without mistakes, and the rest of the games have had at least one mistake.
In the past 6 years, Wei Shao has left the Thunder, joined the Rockets, joined the Wizards, and this season came to the Lakers, while his continuous record of mistakes has continued, and there will be mistakes in every game.
Over the past six seasons, Westbrook has averaged 4.5 turnovers per game, with the highest season averaging 5.4 per game. So far this season, Westbrook has averaged 4.8 turnovers per game, second only to Harden.
Although Westbrook did not make a mistake today, it was only a special situation, because he had almost no ball in hand today, so the number of assists was only twice, a new season low. There are fewer passes, and naturally fewer mistakes. Wei Shao's assist-to-error ratio this season is about 2, and every two assists sent will have a mistake, and if Wei Shao has fewer mistakes, his assists will inevitably decrease.
