The NBA regular season continued, and the Lakers who had just finished the game were once again sent to the hot search, for the simple reason that they suffered an opponent reversal with a 16-point lead, and were single-handedly beaten by Porzingis in the last quarter, and Lakers head coach Vogel was also sent to the hot search, a sound of Vogel's dismissal. You should know that the last game played a wonderful game, originally wanted to boast, but this time it was beaten back to its original shape, and after losing the game, the ninth place in the Lakers' standings was in jeopardy. NBA's latest rankings! There is also bad news about the Warriors' loss, the Lakers are ninth, and Philadelphia is lying in second.
The Western Conference standings are still far ahead of the Suns, and even though Paul has missed many games (13) due to injury, the Suns still maintain an excellent record (the Suns have a 69.2% win rate in Paul's 13 games, making them the first in the league). After a wave of four consecutive wins, their record reached 57 wins and 14 losses, with a win rate of 80.3%, the only team in the league to win more than 70% and 80%. At present, there are still a number of players in their team who are in the recovery stage of injury, it is worth mentioning that when Paul is released, the Suns have an average of 27 assists per game, ranking fifth in the league; when Paul is absent, the team averages 29.3 assists per game, ranking first in the league.
Both the Grizzlies and the Suns lost their most recent game, and there are worse things going on the Suns' side. Currently in second place in the West with a record of 47 wins and 23 losses, the team's star Curry withdrew from the previous game due to injury, and then the Warriors officially announced that Curry suffered a sprain of the left foot ligament (X-ray result was negative without structural damage) and will be reviewed two weeks later. Losing Curry is undoubtedly a fatal blow to the Warriors, and their position in the standings is likely to continue to decline.
Meanwhile, according to reporter Anthony Slater, Warriors player Wiseman has a swollen right knee and a comeback is expected to be delayed. Wiseman is currently listed as absent, missing the past two days of training. Warriors head coach Kerr also confirmed the veracity of the news in an interview, and Kerr said: "I feel sorry for him, we originally hoped he could play in Monday's development league game, this will not happen." At this stage of the season, the Warriors have suffered injuries and have a great impact on them, and may even affect their playoff records.
The Lakers' situation is even worse. They once played an excellent offensive and defensive performance against the Wizards, leading up to double digits, but in the final quarter of the game, Vogel sent a small lineup on the court, which opened up Porzingis completely, 6 of 7 in a single quarter, cut 16 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist to lead the team to win the Lakers by 14 points in a single quarter and finally the Lakers lost the game. James's milestone night ended with a loss, and the Lakers record of losing the game came to 30 wins and 41 losses, only 0.5 wins ahead of the 10th place Pelicans, obviously in this way the Lakers' ninth place in the standings may be difficult to maintain, if not adjusted, it may even miss the playoff.
There was also a change in the Eastern Conference standings, with the Bucks losing the game big in the game against the Timberwolves, and they scored 138 points against their opponents. After the game, Budden said that the team lost, mistakes and rebounds were the main problems, and our mistakes allowed the opponent to open up the point difference. It is worth mentioning that the Bucks have suffered a double kill by the Timberwolves this season, which is also the first time that the Timberwolves have swept the Bucks in the regular season since the 13-14 season.
After losing the game, the Bucks fell to third in the standings, 43-26 to 76 people lying in the top two, of course, this is also under the premise of their recent good record, after welcoming Harden 76 all the way through the barrier, Harden Embiid appeared in 10 games they won 8, so Philadelphia ushered in the opportunity to impact better results.
The tournament will become more exciting in the coming fixtures, the competition for the standings will become more intense, and each team will move towards its goal. Looking forward to their performance.
