On February 4, the Lakers lost to the Clippers by one point. The two sides lack a boss in this game, and James of the Lakers continues to be absent, and it is reported that he will return in the next few games. The Clippers are more serious, Leonard was injured in the Western Conference Semifinals last season, had surgery, may be reimbursed for the season, and George will have to wait for the All-Star Game before he may come back. However, the Clippers, under the coaching of Tyrone Lue, have shown the ability of the king of reversals, and their cohesion and system have reached the standard of the playoffs.

In this game, the Lakers were once big behind, although there was no James, and there was no second All-Star, but Davis was obviously the level of the All-Star starting level, and Westbrook could also play a stage giant performance. Anthony's injury left the Lakers lacking a reliable rotation, but Munch found a shooting feeling in this game to help the team hold up the scene. Westbrook found himself in the fourth quarter playing the Hornets, and Davis continued his comeback dominance.

However, the Lakers still paid for their bad defensive habits, in the key moments, the score led, Davis was pulled to the outside line, Reggie Jackson successfully countered the score with one-on-three, left from the bag of Westbrook and Reeves to the inside line, and successfully faced Reeves and Munch's defensive layup. Davis threw a dragon in a few seconds, but unfortunately too hard caused the ball to deflect out of the basket range, and the kill failed.

After James' absence, the Lakers lost five to four! But Davis's strength after his comeback made the Lakers discussed winning the championship! As long as Davis maintains this form, when James returns and plays the level of scoring king, first team, MVP and league first man as usual, the Strength of the Lakers will be improved to the best form of the season. The uncertainty is still Westbrook, who is still prone to mistakes, but if he can give a personal flow like playing the Hornets and the fourth quarter of this game, it will work.

So, the Lakers could still be discussed winning the championship. At least compared to the Nets, which are also luxurious but look close to disintegration, the trend is much better. In fact, the Lakers have shown a strong team since the beginning of six consecutive visits. Pressed defensively by the Heat to the point of collapse, James almost reversed without Davis, but Tucker and Bradley made mistakes. With Harden's rare outbreak of the Nets, James has continuously grabbed dunks to play a style, Davis's comeback data is average, counting in the warm-up, but the blessing effect on the Lakers has been particularly obvious.

After Davis' comeback, his figure is obviously much better managed than before, and the results are immediate. Davis hit the level of the All-Star's biggest drop, and although he still couldn't get out of the embarrassment of the group leader, this was what happened without James. If James and Davis are at the top, then the Lakers will reactivate the trend of title racing. James' presence elevated Davis' offense to a notch. Davis can be strong, and James' defense is more effective. As for Westbrook, he needs to control his emotions, plus add a wave of flowing times, including the calmness of assisting Davis at key moments. So, although the Lakers unfortunately defeated the Clippers in the ninth place in the West! But the performance of James Davis can still lead the team to compete for the championship!
