In the Lakers' final game against the Nuggets, the Lakers' big three were absent, and the team lineup was very incomplete. However, when facing the Nuggets, the Lakers played a very good performance, the team's young players played hard, and the competitive spirit was very strong, they were behind by a maximum of 17 points, the team with Reeves's three-point and steals to layup, the team successfully dragged the game into overtime. Entering overtime, the Lakers also seized the opportunity, they were more efficient in attack, and their defensive performance was better. In the end, the Lakers had a thrilling away reversal to defeat the Nuggets, winning this game and winning two consecutive wins.
It is worth mentioning that the Lakers' last consecutive win was in early January, and this time it was also the Lakers' second consecutive win after 3 months, in the absence of the Big Three, the Lakers with a group of young players to play, they finally won two consecutive wins, these players in the game deserve to be recognized.
In the game against the Nuggets, Reeves and Munch became surprises for the Lakers. Reeves, as a losing draft, seized his chances in this game. Although he wasn't very efficient at the start of the game, he struggled to grab rebounds and give assists to his teammates, and in the fourth quarter, he already had a triple-double stat. At the key moments of the final quarter and overtime, Reeves personally scored 18 points, becoming the most reliable player on the team, and with his help, the Lakers also successfully completed the reversal and won this game.
In the whole game, Reeves got 31 points, 16 rebounds, 10 assists, 2 steals and 1 block data, the first triple-double in his career, and he also created a number of records, in the history of the Lakers, compared with Jerry West, becoming the second player in the history of the Lakers to get a 30+ triple-double in the rookie season, This campaign Reeves's performance is good enough, this is his best game after entering the NBA.
Munch scored 41 points in this game, a career high for a single game. Before the end of the fourth quarter of the game, Munch had already taken a break, and in the small amount of playing time, Munch ushered in a big explosion on the personal offensive end, and the overall performance was very shining.
For Reeves and Munch, because their position in the league is not stable, it is possible to have no ball at any time. When given the opportunity to play, they also want to try to prove in the game that they belong to the NBA and they deserve to stay. And in the last game of the regular season, when they had the opportunity, they also successfully grasped it, played a very shining play in the game, helped the team in all aspects, made a very deep impression, and also gave them a better chance to stay in the NBA next season.
As far as the current Lakers lineup is concerned, Reeves and Munch are among the few role players on the team to play well this season, and they often have a very good performance in the game and are also very active in both offensive and defensive ends. If the Lakers are ready to change the lineup in a big way this offseason, then in my opinion, the two players who should be left by the team are Reeves and Munch. They are players who can really help the team in the game, they play hard, and they are very competitive, they can be the team's championship puzzle, the Lakers want to get better next season, keep these two players, this should be the lakers management need to do the most.
