The Lakers sat at home today to face the third Jazz of the West, and finally defeated the Jazz 101-95, ending a 3-game losing streak, and after the Jazz lost to the Lakers, the record was also overtaken by the Grizzlies and fell to the fourth place in the West.
In today's game, James is still very strong, playing 37 minutes, shooting 9 of 20, including 3 of 8 three-pointers, 4 of 8 free throws, and 25 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists. In the 14 games since the thick brow injury stopped, James has scored at least 25 points in each game.
Westbrook also did well today, playing 28 minutes, shooting 5-of-14 from the field, 1-of-4 from three-point range, cutting down 15 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists, with only two turnovers. In the final moments of the game, Westbrook's key fast attack was 2+1 to seal the victory for the Lakers.
In addition, Stanley Johnson is also quite powerful today, playing 25 minutes, 7 of 9 shots with 15 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks, which is higher than Mitchell, who played 37 minutes today and only had 13 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists on 6-of-19 shooting.
Conley played 28 minutes, shooting 6-of-12, including 5-of-9 from three-point range and 3-of-4 from the free throw line, with 20 points and four assists. Gobert dominated the interior, playing 37 minutes, shooting 6-of-8 and scoring 19 points and 16 rebounds.
For the Lakers, it is not easy to beat the Jazz, because they have not won a strong team with a 50% winning percentage in a month, and it is still meaningful to beat the Jazz with a winning rate of more than 65% today. In addition, after the Lakers stopped with thick eyebrows, their record performance was not good, with a total of only 5 wins and 8 losses, so this victory is also very important.
It is worth mentioning that in the last game, the Lakers had lost to the Nuggets by 37 points, and the Nuggets lost to 23 points, and they did not expect that the Lakers played against the Jazz today, and even defeated the Jazz, which also surprised many people. In terms of strength, the current Lakers are certainly inferior to the Jazz.
The Lakers can win today, on the one hand, they have found a certain state on their own, James is still stable and efficient, Westbrook and Stanley Johnson are also doing well; on the other hand, it is because they are not good enough, the team shooting rate is only 37%, 95 points is also their second lowest score in a single game this season.
