On January 16, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season continued. In a just-concluded game of Western Focus, the Lakers lost to the Nuggets 96:133 on the road, suffering three consecutive losses, and the record became 21-22, and the winning percentage fell below 50%.
The Lakers' humiliating loss today is directly related to the poor play of Done multiplayer. James only scored 25 points on 9-of-23 today, Munch, who recently had a fiery hand, four, Bradley, and Howard scored 13 points on 6-of-8 shooting, but it was basically concentrated in the first half, with only Westbrook picking up and scoring 19 points on 7-of-15 shooting. None of the bench players scored in double figures.
After today's loss, the Lakers created multiple stigma figures.
1. The Lakers have not beaten a team with a winning percentage of more than 50% in a month. The last time the Lakers won by half was on December 15. After that, they won more than half of the team's 0-6 losses.
2. In this wave of 3 consecutive losses, the Lakers have all conceded more than 125 points, which highlights the team's defensive problems.
3. The Lakers have conceded points to more than 130+ points on four occasions this season.
4. The Lakers felt seriously bad on the outside today, the Nuggets made 23 of 40 three-pointers in the whole game, while the Lakers only had 10 of 30.
The 5.37-point fiasco created the biggest loss in Lakers history against the Nuggets.
The 6.37 points created the Lakers' biggest loss of the season, and they trailed by 42 points at one point.
It has to be said that the problems of this Lakers team today are all-round. Now that we are halfway through the season, they still haven't found a stable way to win.
What makes the Lakers feel even more distressed is that their opponents in the next half month include the Jazz, Nets, Heat and other giants. If they can't adjust their status in time, their ranking will continue to fall.
