The Lakers lost to the Nuggets 106-108 and were eliminated from the tournament with a score of 1-4. The turning point of this game is still Brother Thick Mei, after all, after his injury, the Nuggets are completely in control of the situation. The Nuggets can still maintain a lead in the final quarter, and with Murray's stunner, the Lakers are lost.
And the two people in the audience are full scores. One was James, who scored 20 points alone after Bushy Eyebrows' injury. He actually did his best in the second half, and he played 40 minutes in the playoffs, and even frequently hit the basket in the final moments to make kills, with 30 points, 9 rebounds, 11 assists and 4 steals, and only 2 turnovers. He was really worthy of the team, but he lost in the end.
He shot 8-of-11 from the field and 1-of-2 from the free-throw line, scoring 17 points, 15 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks. Don't forget, Brother Thick Mei still fought with injuries in this game. Even so, after the injury, Brother Thick Mei still chose to return. It's a pity that the injury disappeared completely, maybe the injury had too much impact on him.
Rivers was the only one to pass. He scored 19 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks on 6-of-11 shooting, and scored 9 points in the final quarter. Defensively, in particular, he's always on the line. In addition, the offensive end can also cheat fouls, which makes it show its value. It's a pity that the last mid-pitcher didn't go in after he threw it.
Hachimura, Russell, Dinwiddie, Prince, Hayes, and Vincent are all signs of a collapse. Hachimura's overall performance was very bad, with 6 of 15 on the offensive end and continuous leaks on the defensive end, which greatly affected the situation of the game. Russell shot 6-of-15 from the field and 2-of-10 from three-point range. Once he's in a slump, then the Lakers' aggressiveness on the outside will be very bad.
As for the bench, there were 11 points, including Dinwiddie 6, Prince 4, Hayes 1 and Vincent 0. Among them, Dinwiddie missed a free throw at a critical moment, Prince hit a full iron on 5 of 5, Hayes was played by Jokic on the defensive end, Vincent was 0 of 2 in the game, and the bench was completely unwatchable, which greatly hindered the performance of the entire series.
