In terms of the strength of the two teams, of course, the Lakers are stronger, the Pacers have a bad record this season, the team has stated that to tear down the rebuild, every player in the team can be traded, facing such a weak team, the Lakers can easily win.
The game is basically a one-sided situation, the Lakers have been leading all the way from the beginning, up to 15 points ahead of the opponent, it can be said that the strength is huge, but the Lakers still like to use five small lineups, this game Vogel put the Warcraft on the starting, just started to play for a few minutes, and then was pressed on the bench.
The Pacers rebounded crazy, there was a round, grabbed 3 consecutive frontcourt rebounds, five small lineups on this one shortcoming, no one to protect the basket, which is also the biggest reason why the Pacers can successfully narrow the point difference. No way, near the end of the second quarter, Vogel sent Howard again, which stabilized the situation.
The Lakers will feel hot today, LeBron continues to play efficiently, Westbrook also hit three three-pointers in the first half, Tucker can hit all kinds of difficult shots, can completely expand the point difference, but the rebound let the opponent grab too much, Vogel is not reconsidering, let the Monsters play more time in the second half.
76-80, the pacers temporarily trailed by 4 points in the third quarter, the pacers in this quarter fought back with all their might, the three-point feeling picked up, once overtook the score, the Lakers were too lax, the defensive end could not defend the opponent, and the shooting rate on the offensive end declined. Or the Lakers' second team is stronger, Tucker, Rivers plus Anthony, this lineup is very good offensive and defensive, helping the Lakers to take some lead again. However, the difference is not large, the Lakers still have to be more focused, otherwise the Pacers are expected to turn over.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Pacers had a wave of 9-5 attacks, smoothly erasing the point difference, and the two teams began to alternate the lead, the Pacers played very tenaciously at this time, LeVert scored 8 points in a row, Lamb also had a layup, and the Pacers climaxed in a wave to take an 8-point lead.
The Lakers fought back with all their might, although there was no problem on the offensive end, but it was impossible to prevent, the Pacers broke out in this section, especially how Levert shot how to have, the Lakers defensive end could not completely limit LeVert's play, the Lakers' five small lineup is really unable to prevent ah!
The game also gradually lost suspense, and in the last ten seconds, the Lakers still had a chance to attack, and Wei Shao on the sidelines had already stood up from the bench, walked to the players' channel, and left the court early.
The Pacers were no longer defensive at this time, and old Zhan scored a three-step layup slowly and easily cut two points. In the end, the Lakers lost to the Pacers 104-111, regrettably lost, the whole game, the Lakers side James 30 points, 12 boards, 5 assists, 2 assists, Howard 5 points, Bradley 5 points, Westbrook 14 points, 2 boards and 3 assists, Anthony 14 points, 7 boards and 2 caps, Munch 10 points, Tucker 20 points and 7 assists and 2 caps; Pacers side Holliday 11 points 3 assists 2 assists, Craig 5 points 13 boards 2 assists 2 caps, Sabonis 20 points 12 boards 10 assists, LeVert 30 points 8 board 2 assists, Brogdon 19 points, 4 boards and 6 assists, Duarte had 11 points, 5 boards and 3 assists, and Lamb 5 points.
