In the first game after the All-Star, the Lakers lost 102-105 at home to the Clippers.
So far this season, the Lakers and the city rival Clippers have made 3 hands, 3 times all lost, but the three games are not much difference, 4 points, 1 point and 3 points, adding up to only 8 points, indicating that the gap between the strength of the two teams is not large, but this is in the clippers without Leonard and George, so the Lakers' performance is undoubtedly very bad, they can not even defeat such a Clippers.
After this game, the Clippers' record came to 31 wins and 31 losses, ranking eighth in the West, while the Lakers finished ninth in the West with 27 wins and 32 losses. This season, the Lakers and Clippers are both working hard for a playoff spot, and it's even possible that they will be fighting for the last playoff spot in the West. Judging from the situation between the two teams, the Clippers' hopes of reaching the playoffs are significantly greater than those of the Lakers.
The season has gradually come to an end, and the Lakers' performance is indeed difficult to satisfy. In the crucial moment (the last 5 minutes, within 5 points), the Lakers performed badly. As of now, the Lakers' record at key moments is only 17 wins and 19 losses, with a winning rate of less than 50%.
The Lakers lost a total of 19 games at key moments, tied the Thunder, tied for second-to-last in the league, and only less than the Pacers (26 games), which is obviously not the performance that a team with the Big Three and aiming to win the championship should have.
Of course, the Lakers also won 17 games at key moments, which can be ranked at the top of the league, so their winning percentage at key moments is also in the middle of the league, which is similar to their current overall winning rate.
However, the Lakers have played 36 games so far this season, which is the most in the league, which is very intriguing. On the one hand, it shows that the Lakers have not performed well enough this season, and there are many games that must be played until the last critical moment to divide the winners and losers, but they still lose more and win less, on the other hand, it also shows that the Lakers are not so bad, or have a certain strength, can persist until the key moment, and will not be easily hit by the opponent.
So the final result is that the Lakers play the most games in the league at key moments, but the games they lose at key moments are also at the top of the league, and the winning rate does not reach 50%.
