The Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Pacers 150-145 to win three in a row, and after this game, the Lakers and the tenth-place Warriors opened 2.5 wins. In this game, the Lakers scored 25+ and set a 53-year record in team history.
The Lakers scored 150 points in a single game, which was the first time that James' team had scored in regular time (regular season, playoffs). The most eye-catching person in this game is not LeBron, but Dinwiddie.
Back on January 19, ESPN reporter Zach Lowe wrote in a long article: Up to now, Dinwiddie has only 14 career breakthroughs per 100 rounds for the second time in his career, and his shooting percentage under the basket is also the lowest in his career.
After Dinwiddie was cut, he signed with the Lakers on a one-year contract of $1.55 million, and Pelinka's luxury tax rose to $8.8 million in order to sign him.
In this game, Dinwiddie set a new career high for the Lakers, and it was also the first time since January 9 that he was 20+, 35 minutes, 8 of 11, 2 of 3 three-pointers, 8 of 9 free throws, scored 26 points, 5 assists, 2 rebounds, 1 steal and 2 blocks, with a shooting rate of 72.7%, a three-point shooting rate of 66.7%, and a true shooting rate of 86.9%.
The Lakers official tweet wrote: Please shout for Dinwiddie!
After the game, Dinwiddie also responded to the question of dissatisfaction with positioning: Don't get me wrong, I like to score and I like to take on big roles, but I knew before I got here that I had to make adjustments, I had to adapt to the team environment, every game may be a little different for me, but I will stick to the puzzle of the team moving forward.
I'm very happy to play with Zhan Mei, who is a top five player in the league and they can all dominate the game. (LeBron is really good, he has saved many players in his career, take Monk as an example, if he didn't come to the Lakers to play, Monk would not have had a chance to get an annual salary of tens of millions)
Dinwiddie shot 39.1 percent from the field and 32 percent from three-point range with the Nets, 40.5 percent from the field and 37.5 percent from three-point range since coming to the Lakers, and although his scoring has slipped from 12.6 to 6.2, his efficiency is improving, and he has a plus/minus of +4.3 as a backup point guard.
