On April 4, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season continued. In a just-concluded Game of Western Focus, the Lakers lost to the Nuggets 118-129 at home. Davis had 28 points, nine rebounds and eight assists today, Westbrook had 27 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists, and the Nuggets Jokic had 38 points, 18 rebounds and six assists.
The Lakers have the penultimate home of the season, and in addition to giving back to the fans, they also have to fight for the playoff qualification. After losing to the Pelicans in the last game, Davis made a big deal out of the rest of the game. Davis had 28 points, 9 rebounds and 8 assists today, but only 1 of 6 shots in the final quarter, and the Lakers also collapsed in the final quarter and eventually lost the game. Near the end of the game, a large number of Lakers home fans have left the game early, which is enough to show their disappointment with the Lakers.
After losing this game, the Lakers have suffered six consecutive losses, the record has become 31 wins and 47 losses, continuing to rank 11th in the West, and the gap with the Spurs has been widened to 1.5 wins. For the Lakers, the situation is already very difficult. They had to outperform the Spurs in terms of wins, but now they're 1.5 wins behind, an almost impossible task with just four games left.
Perhaps because it is no longer possible to see hope in this season, Lakers star O'Neal has begun to look forward to next season, he said: "We need to get rid of those contracts that are expiring, and the players who can't play a role, and build a younger, more capable lineup around James." Judging from the lineup, when we look at the signings and trades of the team, we are all sighing: 'Oh! Westbrook! This man is coming, that person is coming! Age, however, is an important factor. Davis has been injured all season and I know he played last time, but you need him to stay fit. My point is to keep James and Davis and then adjust all the other players! ”
According to the schedule, the Lakers' last four opponents are: away vs Suns, away vs Warriors, home vs Thunder, away vs Nuggets.
