On October 24, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued. The Bucks beat the Spurs 121-111 and the Blazers beat the Suns 134-105. The Clippers, who were at home, lost 114-120 to the Grizzlies and suffered a two-game losing streak.
The Clippers and Grizzlies played very well, and it wasn't until the final moments of the game that the winners and losers were divided. Paul George was hot, shooting 15-of-25 from 15-of-25 from 12-point range, and finished with 41 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists. However, under the Grizzlies' outstanding performance of 3-man 20+, Paul George's 41 points also became empty.
The Grizzlies' starting lineup was very balanced: Morant had 28 points, two rebounds and eight assists on 10-of-19 shooting, Melton had 22 points, seven rebounds and two assists on 9-of-16 shooting, and Jaren Jr. had 21 points and seven rebounds on 6-of-11 shooting. Bain had 19 points, six rebounds and two assists on 7-of-15 shooting, and Adams had 17 points, nine rebounds and five assists on 6-of-9 shooting.
The Grizzlies have started with a 2-game winning streak with their next opponent, the Lakers. The Lakers are not in very good shape at the moment, having suffered two consecutive defeats in the opening game. Players can't find feelings for a long time on the field, and there is constant trouble off the field. Thick-browed brother Anthony Davis gestured at veteran Howard and pointed at his nose and scolded. Although everyone said that the problem has been solved, it is difficult to say what other veterans think in their hearts!
The Lakers, who suffered two consecutive defeats in the opening game, desperately need a victory to get out of the predicament. Many fans believe the Lakers will end the losing streak with the Grizzlies. However, from the current situation, although the Grizzlies will play back-to-back against the Lakers tomorrow, the Grizzlies are young and physical strength should not be a problem. Whether the Lakers' old lineup can keep up with these young people is a big problem in my opinion.
Against the Suns, the Lakers just couldn't keep up with the Suns, especially Payne. So much so that James, who has always been a good-tempered, was a bit out of balance, sitting on the bench and angrily exclaiming Payne: Keep humble, you have only been back in the NBA for only a year and a half. And the Grizzlies Morant's gang, they are even faster than Payne. How can the Lakers, who have old arms and legs, stand up?
On the other hand, the Lakers also officially announced the injury situation against the Grizzlies, and Ellington, Nunn, Ariza, Taron Horton Tucker, four players will continue to miss the game. Brother Thick Eyebrow recently does not know why it is so impetuous, Wei Shao also can not find his own suitable position and play style, relying on James alone, how can he defeat the Grizzlies in good shape?
In my opinion, the Lakers' three-game losing streak may be inevitable! I hope that the Lakers will quickly solve the problems inside and outside the court, and the regular season can occupy a favorable ranking to impact the championship!
