On January 10, Beijing time, from the most 29 points behind in the whole game, to the final moment to chase the single-digit point difference, the Lakers once let people see the hope of counterattack, but in the end it was regrettable to lose to the Grizzlies to end a 4-game winning streak. The Lakers' crazy point-chasing offensive in the final quarter needs to be thanked for the performance of a group of bench bandits, Ellington scored 16 points on 6 of 7, Tucker scored 13 points on 5 of 10, Reeves scored 16 points on 6 of 8, the Lakers started and bench scored 57-62, and the bench scored 5 more points than the starter.
In the face of the Grizzlies, who have won 8 consecutive games against the fierce Grizzlies, the Lakers only led by 4 points at most, and then they were constantly crushed by the Grizzlies, and the Lakers relied on James's 35+9+7 performance, and they were simply unable to support the overall situation of the team. In the whole game, the Lakers started the Tigers only James scored 35 points on 14-of-19 and one person scored in double figures, and the remaining four starters were crazy iron, Munch scored 7 points on 3 of 13, Westbrook scored 6 points on 2 of 12, Bradley scored 6 points on 2 of 10, and Johnson scored 2 points on 1 of 4.
On the contrary, the Lakers' bench performed well, and in the case that the Lakers had withdrawn the main force in advance in the last quarter, the outstanding performance of the bench role players became an important contributor to leading the Lakers to fight back madly. The Lakers bench bench 3 people scored in double figures, Ellington hit 16 points on 6 of the first 6, and he was extremely powerful in the top 4 of 4 outside three points, becoming the arrow figure of the Lakers bench.
In addition, young Reeves also scored 16 points on 6 of 8, plus Tucker scored 13 points on 5 of 10, Anthony scored 7 points on 2 of 8, Howard scored 7 points on 3 of 4, etc. The Lakers scored more bench seats than the starter, which is undoubtedly quite embarrassing and a wake-up call for the Lakers to lose.
In the course of this game, the American celebrity Shannon Sharpe complained about the Lakers, "The Lakers except James, no one else is playing hard, which is really embarrassing." "It turns out that the Lakers' losing night is just like the famous spit, but the Lakers' bench should not be spat on, they still played quite well.
