The NBA regular season Lakers and Raptors game has ended, the two sides are in the East and West rankings are about the same, but the Raptors have completed the trade before playing a wave of excellent performances, and their roster strength has become better, on the other hand, the Lakers have already underperformed and fallen to the bottom again, and the matchup of this game is still obvious for both sides. The whole game was very close between the two sides, and it was not until the last moment of the game that the winner was decided, although the Lakers won the game by one point, but all kinds of news after the game frequently rushed to the hot search, causing heated discussions among everyone. 8 to 5?The Lakers won the game and sparked heated discussions, and the free throws in the final quarter were 23-2 on the hot search, and the Raptors coach was furious.
Let's take a look at the game itself, the Raptors have 4 players scoring 20 points after the whole game, and I have to say that their lineup is really good after the transaction is completed. Like Barrett and Quickley found their place in the Raptors, they have performed well in the past few games, Barrett contributed 23 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists and a plus/minus of plus 10 in the whole game, Quickley hit 8 of 14 shots, and contributed 21 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists on 4-of-6 shooting from beyond the three-point line, plus the original Siakam and Barnes in the team, they played quite well throughout the game. And they're shooting nearly 50 percent from beyond the three-point line.
The Lakers' dual-core state is full, especially the thick eyebrows hit 13 of 17 shots in the game, two three-point shots, and contributed 41 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists in the big double-double data, James made 17 shots in the second half and hit 8 of the game, got 22 points, 5 rebounds, and handed out 12 assists, in addition to the team's 5 people scored in double figures for the whole game, their three-point shooting rate reached 44.4%, which can be said to exceed the average performance of the season. Many of the decisions in this game are still quite controversial. Let the fans directly attack, it was an ugly game, an unpopular victory, and the whole game can be said to be 8 to 5.
Let's start with a set of stats, the two sides took 54 shots on the inside and 13 to 34 free throws, both of which were Raptors first. The Lakers made 13 free throws in the first three quarters, but they made as many as 23 free throws in the final quarter, while the Raptors only made 13 in the game. The Lakers hit 19 of 23 free throws in the final quarter, including 11-of-11 free throws from the thick eyebrows, 4-of-4 from Reaves, and 1-of-2 from Reddish, Russell, Chris, and Tyfan de Bildt. The Raptors hit 8 of 13 free throws in the game, including only one of two in the final quarter, and the Raptors head coach was even more furious when he was interviewed by reporters after the game.
Raptors coach Rajakovic glared angrily: "It's a shame! The referee is shameful, and the league that let this happen is also shameful." The fourth quarter was 23-2 on free throws, and you tell me, how do I play with only 2 free throws in the fourth quarter. I respect their stars, but we have them here. Barnes was attacking the basket in every round of the fourth quarter, he didn't fake a fall, he didn't go to the whistle, but he made two free throws. How did this happen? How is this possible? How do you explain this to me! Obviously, this decision caused the Raptors head coach to express his displeasure publicly. I don't know if such a public expression of dissatisfaction will be punished by the alliance.
After winning this game, the Lakers' record came to 19-19, and the winning rate returned to 50%, temporarily ranking 10th in the West.
