On March 20, Beijing time, the Lakers lost 119-127 to the Wizards in back-to-back matches. In this game, James + Westbrook scored 60 points and still failed to lead the team to win. With just one bench score, the Lakers lost to the Wizards by 33 points.
In this game, the Lakers bench scored a total of 21 points, of which Anthony alone won 13 points. The last game winner, Wizards Gabriel, had four points and four rebounds, Augustine had two points and Bradley had two points and two rebounds. Horton Tucker, who came off the bench for 16 minutes and 42 seconds, had a bad performance in this game, shooting 0-of-0, 3 boards and 3 assists, and also had 2 turnovers, plus-minus -12.
In yesterday's back-to-back game against the Raptors, Horton Tucker did not play. He, like Anthony, was on the injury list. In this game, Horton Tucker came back. In the first quarter, Tucker played 5 minutes and shot 0 of 2. In the second quarter, Tucker came on again for 4 minutes, shooting 0-of-1. In the third quarter, Tucker played 5 minutes and shot 0 of 2. Entering the fourth quarter, Vogel only gave him 1 minute to play and didn't use him again.
There is no doubt that Horton Tucker's performance in this game is too bad. As a young player, Tucker is the fourth highest-paid player on the Lakers, with a salary of $9.5 million, behind Westbrook, James and Thick Eyebrow. Tucker, however, hasn't played well this season, averaging just 9.6 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game. The Lakers salary space is more precious, Tucker takes a high salary but does not do things, can the Lakers' record not pull the crotch?
