The Lakers quickly closed in on the score, but the Greens' mistakes also provided the Lakers with a chance to fight back. The Lakers gradually narrowed the gap to one point and chased the score to 57-58, laying the foundation for a second-half counterattack.

At halftime, the Lakers were still 57-5, and James had a good first half, scoring 8 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists. The thick eyebrows played extremely well on the scoring end, contributing 20 points and 7 rebounds. The Lakers had a terrible first half from the arc, shooting just 1-of-6, while the Greens, led by Tatum and Pozin, continued to play an efficient offense.
The Lakers tried to catch up quickly by changing their tactics. James took the lead in a basket, and the Lakers chased the score to 59-58. However, the Green Army was not shaken, and Pozin and Brown scored back-to-back three-pointers to quickly widen the gap. The Lakers continued to fight back under the leadership of James and Thick Eyebrows, but the Green Army still maintained a relatively stable offensive state. Pozin's outstanding performance became the scoring pillar of the Green Army, and he scored 13 points in the third quarter to successfully face the big eyebrows. The Lakers were unable to limit Pozin's play on the defensive end, which led to a gradual widening of the point difference. At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers 90-99 Green Army, the situation is very unfavorable for the Lakers.
In the game, he scored 40 points, 13 rebounds and 4 assists. Pozin was the Green Army's leading scorer in the game, scoring 28 points, 11 rebounds and two assists, while Prince contributed 17 points in the game and was a bright spot for the Lakers.

The Green Tigers' performance was very balanced, with Holiday , Jaylen Brown, White and Census Reid all contributing to the team to varying degrees, forming a strong overall firepower. However, the Lakers' overall poor outside shooting percentage and defensive problems made it difficult to change the course of the game
However, the Green Army remained relatively stable, with Pozin and White scoring back-to-back points at crucial moments to stabilize the situation. In the final stage of the game, while the Lakers worked hard to chase the points, the Green Army showed strong teamwork and offensive firepower. Brown made one of two free throws and James made a good throw, but Holiday blocks and Brown's fouls dealt another blow to the Lakers' comeback momentum. The margin widened to 13 points again, and the Lakers were in a desperate situation.
Players such as James, Vanderbilt and Reaves were still fighting hard, and Hachimura contributed two key three-pointers as the Lakers were unable to turn the tide in the final minute and eventually lost 115-126 to the Greens. Despite scoring 16 points, 9 rebounds and 8 assists in this game, James still looked powerless against the Green Army's strong overall lineup. James was hatted by Pozin in the first half of the third quarter, and the Lakers' weakness on the defensive end made James' efforts seem a little lonely.
The game revealed the strength and teamwork of the Green Army, who kept their cool in key moments and relied on the team's excellent offense and defense to defeat the Lakers. Conversely, the Lakers' inaccurate outside shooting and porous defenses led to the loss of the game. The Lakers clearly felt the inadequacy of the interior defense in this game, and the problem of missing a blue-collar interior line surfaced. Bushy Eyebrows played well on the scoring end, but he couldn't defend the Green Army's Pozin single-handedly, and the Lakers' weakness on the interior became a shortcoming. Adjustments and improvements need to be made in subsequent matches. For the Greens, the victory cemented their lead in the East while also showing their consistency against strong teams. Tatum's performance is particularly commendable, as he stepped up in crucial moments and earned the team important points. Successfully cornered the Lakers and became a strong team to be reckoned with this season.
The Lakers, on the other hand, need to make up for the team's problems through in-depth reflection and adjustment, and regain the rhythm and confidence of the game. For the Lakers, this loss could be a wake-up call that they still have a lot to work on and improve on the new season. The Green Army should take this victory as an opportunity to maintain the desire for victory, maintain the tacit understanding and cooperation of the team, and strive for higher honors. It's a long season ahead of us and every team has a chance to show their quality and determination. As the game continues, the league will be more competitive and fans will have more exciting moments. Both the Lakers and the Green Army will write their own chapters in the future journey.
