After an inspiring victory over the Jazz in the last game, the Lakers continued to sit at home today to meet the Pacers' challenge.
In the last meeting between the two teams this season, the Lakers narrowly won over their opponents in overtime, and that game was also one of LeBron's masterpieces of the season.
In this game, the Lakers continued to arrange Howard as the starting center, and Anthony also returned to the team roster.
On the Pacers' side, core defender Brogdon made a comeback after missing many games.
Match overview
After the game began, the Lakers took the lead in finding the rhythm, Wei Shao took the opportunity to pull out three points by blocking and dismantling, LeBron also completed 2+1 in the fast attack, and the Lakers played a wave of 9-2 start.
Back from a timeout, the combination of Brogdon and Sabonis began to exert its power, helping the Pacers recover the point difference in an instant.
In the second half of the quarter, the Lakers bench played better, Anthony, Tucker and others all scored, and the Lakers ended the first quarter with a 9-point lead.
In the second quarter, LeBron and Munch's two-man rotation was still smooth, the two outside touched hot to make the opponent invincible, the Lakers further opened up the point difference, and at most the Lakers had led to 15 points.
The Pacers switched back to Sabonis and Brogdon, and the Pacers slowly recovered some of the point difference.
Before the end of the half, the Lakers once again played a wave of small climaxes, Bradley's air cut was in place in time, and after the layup, the Lakers still held a 6-point lead.
In the second half, the Lakers' offensive efficiency declined, Duarte hit another three points on the outside line, and the Pacers narrowed the gap to two points.
In the difficult moment, the Lakers relied on Melon Anthony's back-up jumper to get points, which allowed the Lakers to breathe during leBron's rest period and did not let the opponent further widen the point difference.
Tucker and Reeves, two young men, also stepped forward at this time, and the two played together to let the Lakers regain their advantage at the end of the first half.
In the final quarter, the Pacers' offense was completely liberated, and LeVert found a feel in this quarter, and he scored 22 points in a single quarter to help the Pacers reverse the score in one fell swoop.
On the Lakers side, only Westbrook and Tucker can stand up and contribute sporadic points, and even Anthony lost his touch in this section.
Faced with a large point difference, the Lakers can only helplessly accept the ending of being overturned.
In the end, the Lakers lost to the Pacers 104-111 at home and did not qualify for a winning streak.
Player stats
Post-match commentary
The lineup advantage is obvious, leading by 15 points at most, but the Lakers still regret to be reversed at home.
Such a plot, presumably Lakers fans have been seen frequently this season.
The collapse of the last section is clearly the result of a multifaceted factor.
From the coaching staff to the players, there seems to be no preparation for the opponent's all-out counterattack.
When LeVert has clearly opened the feel and is somewhat unstoppable, the Lakers have not arranged targeted alignment for it from beginning to end.
And when Sabonis Jr. has played more and more smoothly, the Lakers have never considered replacing Howard, who has been stable throughout the game, which is also very debatable.
Especially in the last quarter, the opponent has grabbed twice as many rebounds as the Lakers, and the coaching staff still wants James and Anthony, two veterans, to go to the town to guard the basket, of course, they can only watch the opponent hit the basket again and again, and put the ball into the basket.
Vogel was clearly losing to his predecessor Carlisle in this on-the-spot adjustment.
On the offensive end, the Lakers also suddenly lost their rhythm in the final quarter, and even LeBron did not step forward as usual.
The team's attack was completely out of focus in the final half, and the handling of the ball was too casual. Once the pitchers on the outside are inaccurate, the Lakers can only choose to tie their hands.
The superposition of various factors made the Lakers lose a good game in the last quarter of the game.
Compared with other strong teams, the Lakers have obviously suffered more reversals when leading, and such a situation will happen in a team dominated by veterans, which is very worth reflecting on.
In such a difficult time, such a failure we really wish we could have been less, less.
