After a three-game losing streak and a hasty road trip, the Lakers, who desperately need a win, returned home and ushered in the challenge of the Jazz during their six-game winning streak.
On the Lakers side, head coach Vogel made adjustments, Munch replaced Bradley into the starting lineup, and the Lakers tried to win by surprise and defend the home game to end the losing streak.
On the other hand, on the Jazz side, Gobert's comeback is in good shape, and the Jazz will also be ready to take advantage of the chase, do a lot on the road, and win 7 consecutive wins!
However, after four quarters of competition, with Mitchell's excellent performance, the jazz team dominated the guest, although in the first three quarters, once overpowered the Lakers, and achieved a 14-point lead.
But helplessly in the final final moment, James + Wei Shao ushered in an outbreak, leading the Lakers to play a wave of 19-4 counterattack frenzy, instantly reversing the situation on the court.
With Reeves hitting the key three points, helping the Lakers to take a 4-point lead in the end, the game basically lost suspense.
The Lakers, who finally withstood the pressure, also counterattacked the Jazz at home 106-101, successfully defending the home stadium, and also staged a 14-point behind Jedi reversal!
In this game at home, although the Lakers once fell into a passive situation of 14 points behind in the score, fortunately, the team did not mess up, but played a team performance of 4 people scoring in double figures, completing the reversal.
In the case of Munch + Horton Tucker + Howard and other main players, each performing their duties, the team ace James + Westbrook, and the play of Tiger Reeves on the bench are particularly critical!
James ushered in the outbreak of the game, the first 37 minutes, 23 shots 14 shots shooting more than 60%, bombed the team's high 33 points, plus 8 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals of the all-around performance.
Among them, in the last quarter, he suddenly shot a single quarter to score 15 points of the heroic performance, not only led by example, led the Lakers to fight back, but also once became a difficult existence for the Jazz team to solve!
More importantly, according to statistics, after this game, James also scored 25+ in 23 consecutive games, becoming the player with the most points scored 25+ games this season.
At the same time, scoring 25+ in 23 consecutive games also refreshed James's personal career record, equaled Elgin Baylor, and completed the record of 25+ consecutive points in lakers history, which can be said to have created a number of great achievements in a game!
In addition, as the core defender of the team, the play of Wei Shao in this game is also indispensable.
This campaign, Wei Shao lived up to expectations, shooting 6-of-13 from the field, and delivering a brilliant performance of 17 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists.
And in the last quarter, he was able to withstand the performance of the key ball in the pressure row, which not only shattered the doubts of the outside world with practical actions, but also proved his ability to stay in the final lineup!
Of course, the Lakers were able to complete the reversal in this game, and the performance of Tiger Reeves on the bench also played a crucial role.
In this game, Reeves was appointed to play 28 minutes off the bench, contributing 9 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal on 3-of-6 shooting.
In the decisive moment of the fourth quarter, Reeves not only hit the key three points, but throughout the game, Reeves personally did not make a mistake, and successfully rewrote the trend of the game at both ends of the attack and defense!
However, for the Lakers, although the team won this game, the injury of the team's core thick eyebrow brother undoubtedly caused the team to suffer a major blow.
Considering that the team is at a critical moment in the ranking battle, it has to be said that in the next schedule, this Lakers team will also face more severe challenges and tests!
On the other hand, on the Jazz side, the team failed to withstand the pressure in the final quarter of this game, and was eventually reversed, and the performance of the game was lost by 5 points, which was obviously regrettable.
After all, under mitchell's good performance and winning 37+3+5+4 in the whole game, the downturn of 23 shots of Conley + Bojan in this campaign is indeed a bit unsatisfactory!
In the face of the full force Zhan who opened the "full force mode", and the Lakers who were all soldiers, Mitchell, who worked hard for a whole battle, but was isolated and helpless, seemed to have no choice but to admit it!
