In this game, the Lakers Russell came back to make the team lineup more tidy, and this time it fell into a passive situation, but soon the team adjusted, was able to bite the score, avoid being pulled away, and fell behind by 4 points at halftime. In the second half, the Clippers were still sluggish, and the Lakers seized the opportunity, relying on the advantage of the inside, successfully overtaking the score, plus Russell hit three points in a row, and once took a 10-point lead in the final quarter, Powell hit three points in a row, but unfortunately he missed the final equalizing three points, and the Lakers also won a thrilling victory.
