On January 24, Beijing time, the Lakers lost 107-113 to the Heat in the NBA regular season, and they did not win consecutively. In this campaign, the Lakers once trailed by 26 points in the first half. But James scored 18 points in the half for the Lakers to continue life. In the second half, the Heat maintained a 15-point advantage or more. But in the middle of the final quarter, the Lakers played a wave of 21-6 attacks, at one point narrowing the point difference to only 5 points. But at the crucial moment, Duncan Robinson and Tucker scored two three-pointers, destroying the Lakers' hopes of a comeback.
The first three quarters of the game were uneventful. The Heat have shown their prowess as a third team in the East, while the Lakers are clearly ill-prepared. The Heat blossomed at multiple points, leading as much as 26 points at one point. But James clearly didn't want the team to disarm, and he burst out in the late second quarter, scoring nine points on consecutive free throws, locking his halftime stats at 18 points and chasing the score to 52-69 for the Lakers.
In the third quarter, the Heat still played very solidly, re-extending their advantage to 19 points. In the final quarter, the Heat again led by 23 points. But at this time, the Lakers burst out with amazing energy, and they exploded a crazy 21-6 attack wave behind 75-98, chasing the point difference to only 5 points. At this point, Robinson and Tucker scored two three-pointers, but James scored seven consecutive points in response, leaving only 4 points left.
At this point, however, the Lakers' role players made consecutive mistakes. First Bradley attacked to cover the foul, and the Lakers lost a ball. Subsequently, Tucker directly sent a sideline ball error, completely ruining the Lakers' hope of overturning. In the end, the Lakers lost to the Heat 107-113. In the whole game, James got 33 points, 11 boards and 4 assists, Westbrook 24 points, 9 boards and 9 assists, and the two slashed 57 + 20 + 13, and the performance was actually quite good. But helplessly, the role players made consecutive mistakes at key moments.
However, James still laughed and talked with his opponents after the game, after all, there are many of his old friends here. But for the Lakers, the loss of this game allowed them to experience the cruelty of the road trip. Next, the Lakers have four more away games against the Nets, Philadelphia, Hornets and Hawks. If you are not careful, the Lakers may usher in a wave of 3 consecutive losses or even 5 consecutive losses. The Lakers' role players need to wake up!
