The Lakers narrowly won by 1 point! Thick eyebrows set 2 records, James won two double-doubles, and another big man was injured
On January 10, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, and the Lakers narrowly defeated the Raptors 132-131 at home and won two consecutive victories. The two teams played very close in this game, the Raptors led by 1 point after the third quarter, and the scores of the two teams alternated in the final quarter.
The last game against the Clippers ended the Lakers' four-game losing streak and successfully gave the team a respite. This time facing the Raptors, it is also with a winning mentality, but the momentum of the Raptors is still quite good, they have been biting the score, and the feeling is also very hot, and they can always respond, but it is a pity that the Lakers' free throws are very stable and did not give them any chance, and the two teams also played a high score in the final quarter, and the Lakers led 44-42, and they played very excitingly.
This time Davis became the team's winning hero and received the MVP cheers of the whole game, which he deserved. Davis shot 13-of-17 from the field, 2-of-2 from three-point range, 13-of-14 from the free-throw line, and slashed 41 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists, including more free throws than the entire Raptors. This time, he also set two major records, scoring 40 points and 10 rebounds with a true shooting rate of at least 85% for the third time in his career, tied for the first place in history with Brother Alphabet, and the Lakers cut at least 30 points and 10 rebounds for the 50th time in his career, becoming the fourth person in team history.
James didn't have much of a bright performance on the offensive end this time, but he still had a stabilizing effect on the court, contributing 22 points, 5 rebounds and 12 assists to the double-double data, and he also used a cool head to help the team in the final quarter. He didn't take the initiative to catch the ball at critical moments, and he was not very consistent with his own free throws, and in the end Davis and Reaves both hit both free throws.
However, this time the Lakers lost another big man, Reddish was hit in the face by Quickley in the final quarter, and then fell to the ground in pain, and Quickley was also whistled for a first-degree malicious foul. After the game, coach Ham revealed that Reddish had been punched in the face and was being examined, hoping to be fine. Reddish played well this time, scoring 13 points on 4-of-6 three-point shooting.
