Early this morning, the Los Angeles Lakers continued their NBA regular season tour against the Atlanta Hawks.
It was hard to wait until Anthony Davis returned from injury, and the Lakers did not enjoy a few days of a full lineup, and then encountered James' injury. In desperation, James began his vacation, while the Lakers struggled to move forward. A while ago, the Lakers even rotated James and Anthony Davis together, and only Westbrook led the team, and the result can be imagined.
Facing the Hawks today, the Lakers once saw the hope of winning, after all, the opponent was panicked, and many of the main players were put on the shelves. However, the Hawks' core player Trae Young has a strong desire to fight, shooting 36 points, 5 rebounds and 12 assists in a single game, leading the team to complete the reversal in the final moments, beating the Lakers 129-121.
Anthony Davis on the Lakers side had 27 points and five rebounds, and Westbrook also contributed 20 points, seven rebounds and 12 assists, all of which looked like normal levels of play, but they couldn't keep the win.
In fact, the Lakers played the best player is Still Munch. The promoted starting forward shot 12-of-19, including 8-of-14 from beyond the three-point line, cut 33 points and 10 rebounds, played a career masterpiece, and still could not win, which is very regrettable.
Unconsciously, the Lakers have fallen into a wave of losing streaks, and the current ranking has fallen to the 9th place in the Western Division, and it is almost impossible to play the playoffs. Obviously, the current Lakers really can't do without James, and every time they lose, the Lakers miss the leadership of this superstar even more.
