On April 2, 2022, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, and this game between the Lakers and the Pelicans can be called the focus of this game day. Both sides are vying for a playoff spot, and as a direct competitor, it's a game that is played as two. The game was played by both sides from the beginning, the Pelicans had the advantage in the first quarter, and the Lakers recovered the score in the second quarter!
The game entered the third quarter, James began a personal scoring performance, he swept 21 points, 2 rebounds and 1 steal data in a single quarter, helping the Lakers stabilize the situation of the game and maintain a stalemate with the Pelicans. Westbrook stepped up in the fourth quarter, hitting two consecutive three-pointers to help the Lakers open the gap! But in the final moments, the Lakers had problems on the offensive end, Davis missed consecutive shots, and the Pelicans took the opportunity to reverse the score and pulled it to 4 points! Although Bradley hit a crucial three-pointer, the Lakers still couldn't withstand the pressure, and they eventually lost 111-114
In this game, Davis returned to show good form, in the first game of the comeback, he got 23 points, 12 rebounds and 6 assists, and the offensive efficiency is very good, which is already very difficult! The most admirable thing about this game is James, in the first game of return, he played 39 minutes, shot 13 of 20 from the field, and got 38 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists!
But in such a situation, the Lakers still have no way to win, which is very fatal, to know that this game has consumed James a lot, but there is still no way to win, especially at the critical moment, Davis's shots have not been hit continuously, burying the victory of the game!
After losing this game, they have been widened by the Spurs in front of them, and it is really difficult to get a chance to enter the playoffs this season!
