On April 1, Beijing time, when the Lakers, who lacked the two cores of Zhan Mei, once again dueled against the Jazz, they were 18 points behind at most, and the whole game never led, which was undoubtedly a rout without suspense, and it was also a top ten in the West that made the Lakers overtaken by the Spurs and fall out of the Western Playoff area again.
Wei Shao single-core led the team to lose again, he and Howard are both bombarded with 20+ points, but the Lakers have a significant gap in strength, and they are helpless to lose.

In addition to the 0-0 start, the Lakers have never been able to lead the Jazz in the whole game, and have been suppressed by the Jazz. Although the Lakers played extremely tenaciously, the first three quarters were all single-quarter losses, until the last quarter, they won 1 point in a single quarter, and at most they were 18 points behind, and it was not difficult to understand the loss.
Second, the Lakers lost 8 three-pointers 24 7-15 on the outside.
The Lakers performed badly on the outside, even if the Warcraft Howard hit a three-pointer, but the team's three-pointers were 7 of 25, including Ariza's 4-of-3 three-pointers, Anthony's 3-of-0, and Westbrook's 2-of-2 three-pointers. In contrast, the Jazz hit 15 three-pointers across the team, and the Lakers lost 8 three-pointers on the outside, losing 24 points.
Third, the Lakers lost to the Jazz for the first time in the season without a 3-game sweep.
The Lakers have a terrible record against strong teams this season, but they have defeated the Jazz in their first two meetings and ended a losing streak on the Jazz twice. It's just that the first two encounters were with James, and the Lakers who lacked James again lost, and they also had no chance to complete the season sweep for the Jazz.
