On March 10, the NBA regular season ended a focus battle, and the Lakers lost to the Rockets through overtime. The two sides played very hard in regular time, with Anthony conceding a deadly three-pointer and the two sides moving into overtime. In overtime, Jaylen Green scored 7 consecutive points, the Rockets' three-pointer was superb, and the Lakers did not respond, regrettably lost the game, this season the Lakers and the Rockets met 4 times, the Lakers won 3 games, and did not win the season sweep. James scored a triple-double, and Westbrook scored 30 points, 8 boards and 6 assists, but unfortunately the team still lost the game and lost to the Rockets at the bottom of the West.
In this game, although James cut his fifth triple-double of the season, he unfortunately did not feel good, shooting only 9 of 26 in the whole game, including 1 of 9 three-pointers, 8 of 0 three-pointers, and only shot 1 three-pointer until he was behind in overtime, but it was too late. At the same time, James also had 5 turnovers, and the overall performance did not meet expectations.
James's performance in this game is indeed average, the last moment of the last quarter consecutive shots did not hit, did not score the key ball, when the last attack to his hand, James did not choose to break through the layup or shot, but passed out, to know that after James broke through, the Rockets' defenders have lost their position, James is facing almost an empty basket, such a situation he still passes, and Anthony plays the iron game into overtime.
James' performance was average, with the well-known James Black Skip commenting, saying: "Again, James did not stand up in a draw because he did not want to win by free throws. He avoided contact, made a retracted shot, and didn't make it. ”
"James can certainly beat the Bottom Rockets without Wood. He can certainly hit three-pointers (currently 0-of-8). ”
"Shame."
"I said to choose Jaylen Green, don't choose Corningham, today Green scored 32 points and completely blew James!"
Lakers legend James Worthy angrily criticized the team after the game, saying: "I don't think we can set a new low, but tonight we hit a new low. They didn't die on arrival. But they don't have that tenacity or the will to get out of trouble. They don't seem to believe in anything they're doing. ”
In this way, the Lakers are not defeated by the Rockets, and the next opponents of the Lakers are the Wizards, the Suns and the Raptors, the test is still very large, in the case of not much left in the regular season, the hope of impacting the top six straight to the playoffs in the West is indeed not great, but the team still has to work hard, have a good ranking before the playoffs, and strive to adjust the state to the best, and today's performance of Westbrook is commendable. So I'm also looking forward to the Lakers' performance next.
