In this game, the Lakers performed well in the first half of the game, and the team was at most 10 points ahead of the opponent and occupied the game initiative. However, it is a pity that the Lakers still have a habitual downturn in the third quarter, the team can not score goals at the offensive end, and the Jazz cannot limit the performance of the Jazz team at the defensive end, in the third quarter of the game, the Lakers lost 12 points in a single quarter, and the third quarter of the game ended, and the Lakers were already behind in the score. In the final quarter, the Lakers did not let the Jazz further widen the point difference, Johnson stepped forward, he personally completed consecutive points, to help the team to take the lead. In the final minute, the Lakers still hold a six-point lead. Then the Jazz failed to respond, the Lakers always occupied the initiative of the game, and finally the Lakers successfully defeated the Jazz at home and won the game.
The performance of the Jazz in this game is actually not ideal, they are in the first half, the offensive and defensive efficiency is relatively crotch, can not prevent the Lakers' attack, the team itself shooting efficiency is not high, which also led to them in the first half of the Lakers double digits behind.
However, the Jazz are still a very strong team after all, their ability to adjust on the court is very strong, and the head coach's ability to adapt to the scene is also excellent. After seeing such a sluggish performance in the first half, he increased the intensity of the team on the defensive end, while allowing players to get better shooting opportunities through a lot of passes. And this adjustment also achieved very good results, the Jazz in the third quarter of the performance is much better than the first half of the play. The team has shown a better defensive performance, and on the offensive end, the team's success rate is also higher. In the third quarter of the game, the Jazz successfully overtook the score and took the initiative in the game.
However, it is a pity that the Jazz only played the third quarter of this game, in the final quarter, the Jazz did not play well, they let the Lakers get a lot of opportunities to easily score, and the team did not continue the hot play of the third quarter on the offensive end, in the face of the Lakers' offense, the team was powerless, and finally they also lost this game on the road. In this campaign, Mitchell only scored 13 points on 6-of-19 shooting, showing a crotch pull, and Gobert cut a luxurious double-double with 19 points and 16 rebounds.

It can be said that the Lakers' recent performance is very crotch-pulling, and the overall performance is not good.
When facing the Jazz this time, the Lakers finally adjusted their form, they were more stable on the offensive end, and they were better at the defensive end than before. When facing the Jazz team, the Lakers played the best performance in the past period of time, they had to suppress the Jazz at both ends of the attack and defense, when the score was behind, the Lakers did not give up the game, they persisted to the last moment, and successfully overtook the score, the performance of the Lakers in this game is commendable.
In this game, James had 25 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists, and played steadily, which was his 14th consecutive game with 25+ points.
