NBA regular season, Spurs vs. Grizzlies, the former a wave of 4 consecutive wins to surpass the Lakers into the play-off zone, while the latter although the lack of Morant, but they are still strong, a wave of 5 consecutive wins to sit in the second place in the West, the two teams after four quarters of competition, the Spurs missed the overhead basket kill, the Grizzlies won 6 consecutive wins, locked in the Southwest Division championship and the second place in the West, the Spurs ended four consecutive wins, once again gave up the tenth place in the West, the Lakers relied on this game to return to the play-off area. That's a good start for the Lakers.
Spurs played very tough in this game, behind them did not panic, showed the team's tenacity at key moments, Murray scored 6 points in a row to let the Spurs see the hope of victory, but unfortunately Kelden finally failed to hit the basket, failed to completely kill, and finally could only lose the Grizzlies by one point, after the game Popovich did not feel frustrated by the loss, he said: Although Kelden's killer goal did not hit, the team will not feel too bad, I am proud of my players, against the Grizzlies against the team is a growing experience, We will prepare for the next game.
In fact, from the team atmosphere and team hard work, the Spurs are completely higher than the current Lakers, Popovich let this young team play out of the momentum, although it is a pity to lose the game, but they experienced psychological maturity, the Spurs this group of young people played the spirit, Murray, Johnson, Poulter, Richardson, these people can look forward to the future, even if this season does not enter the playoffs, next year will also enter the playoffs.
This season, the Spurs have always thought that they are rebuilding, but the Lakers have given them playoff hopes, the Lakers have not won in the past three months, the Spurs' record is uncertain, relying on the previous four consecutive wins can also surpass the Lakers, it can be seen that this year's Lakers are indeed too weak. If fans choose Lakers and Spurs, and a team enters the playoffs or playoffs, perhaps most fans will choose Spurs, after all, they play stronger and better than the Lakers.
Spurs loss once again gave the Lakers a chance, they returned to the play-off area, the next game against the Jazz, it is likely to be Westbrook alone to lead the team, according to the Lakers' official news, James left ankle sprain will miss this game, Davis is still in the recovery period, although participated in the team's full training, but the Lakers for safety, it is unlikely to let him play in this game. Gabriel, who was injured last time, could also be absent.
Jazz currently suffered 5 consecutive losses, the Lakers three consecutive losses, both teams are in a period of low morale, whether Wei Shao can prove himself, is the key to whether the Lakers can win, Wagle can change the current tactics, redefine the team, is also indispensable, the current Lakers do not lack talented players, what is missing is the determination to unite up and down and the belief in victory. Spurs give hope that they will firmly grasp so that the Lakers will not be out early.
