On February 3, Beijing time, although the Lakers narrowly defeated the Blazers to end a three-game losing streak, the performance of starting small forward Munch was still not ideal. Munch went from 33+10+5 in the last game to only 2-of-10 in this game to score 7 points, including 1 of 6 outside three-pointers, and also missed two key penalties in the last moment, almost leaving the opponent with a chance to turn over, while the two free throws with 0.9 seconds left were all in the redemption.
With 15.6 seconds left in the final quarter, the Lakers led the Blazers by four points at 97-93, when Westbrook tee off to Munch, who was directly tactically fouled by Powell of the Blazers. As long as Munch hits two free throws, he basically controls the victory properly, but Munch has two missing penalties, which naturally gives the opponent a chance.
Covington grabbed a rebound to give McCollum, who caused a thick-browed tactical foul two free throws and one shot, fortunately Munch was fouled again, he still had 0.9 seconds left to kill the game with two free throws, playing a heartbeat Lakers or narrowly defeated the opponent to end the losing streak.
Munch's performance was like his last 4 key 4 free throws 2 in the play heartbeat, he only scored 7 points on 2 of 10 in the opening game, and 1 of 6 outside three points, and did not give the Lakers too much fire support for the three points. The Lakers lost three three-pointers 11-14 on 11-14 3-pointers, with the exception of Anthony hitting five three-pointers, Bradley hitting three three-pointers, and Westbrook, Munch and Tucker each hitting a three-pointer.
Munch's last game against the Eagles also exploded the strongest game of the 33+10+5 season, and Munch's slump in this game needs to be adjusted, and the Lakers still need him to continue to maintain a strong attack.
