On the morning of January 20, the Lakers played at home against the Pacers, and the game attracted much attention. The two sides opened 14-17, with Munch hitting two points and Le Vere scoring a slam. Johnson scored two points and Beatazawa hit 1 in 2 free throws. Munch fouled and hit 1 of 2 free throws, but the second free throw gave his teammates a chance! Anthony made a layup, Tucker scored three points, and the Lakers' advantage came to 10 points.
Brisette hit the iron, James delivered an assist, and Anthony scored three-pointers. Although James has felt well since then, the other scoring points have not been able to come out of good shape, especially Wei Shao continued to play iron, shooting and breaking, almost falling into the freezing point. The Pacers seized the opportunity to close the score gap step by step. At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers' lead was only 4 points left.
In the last quarter, the Pacers counterattacked strongly and directly overtook the score! Le Vere and Sabonis played successively, the game was not difficult, Craig, Anthony failed to score three points in succession, Tucker rushed to the basket with the ball, and the basket was hatted. Duarte hit the iron, James carried the defense and scored 2 points! LeVert dribbled through, Lamb received the ball at the top of the arc, and Craig did not score three points in the empty position. The variable of the game is that LeVille continues to cut points in a single quarter, once came to 20 points, directly hanging the Lakers, forming a 10-point advantage or more, and there is no suspense in the game?
The Lakers eventually lost 104-111. Le Ver scored 30 points and 8 boards, 12-of-16 from the field, and was efficient. Westbrook shot 5-of-17 and 4-of-6 from three-point range, scoring 14 points, 2 boards and 3 assists, including 11-of-11 shooting, which was very embarrassing. Tucker had 20 points and seven assists off the bench, and James had 30 points, 12 rebounds and five assists. The Lakers' 8th place in the West is a bad one.
