The Lakers hosted the Warriors today, and the thick eyebrows were sidelined due to pain. The Warriors had strong firepower outside the three-point line, and they were 26 of 41 in the game, comprehensively suppressing the Lakers. In the end, the Lakers lost 120-134 to the Warriors, suffering a two-game losing streak and continuing to rank ninth in the West.
Star performance
James was left alone in the absence of thick eyebrows, and although he was still very good on the offensive end and organizing the team, he really didn't dare to compliment on the defensive end. But James is really not easy, because he came on the court with the flu in this game, which shows that the Lakers still want to win this game very much.
Rivers got off to a good start, and he opened up a bad situation for the Lakers in a three-pointer. But then he fell into an offensive stagnation, and his fragile frame suffered a lot on the defensive end, and he was bombarded by the Warriors from the outside. Rivers hasn't been consistent enough lately, which is very bad for the upcoming playoffs.
Hachimura faced Wiggins, the Warriors' perimeter defender, and his outside shooting was completely accurate today. His importance to the Lakers is self-evident, not only for his ability to shoot from the outside, but also to have misplaced singles. His dysfunction indicates that the Lakers will have a harder time going this way.
Although Russell has a bad shooting touch, he has repeatedly made kills, which means that he also hopes to make changes through the form on the court, which shows that Russell is still a lot more mature. Hopefully, he can play well in the playoffs, maximize his value, and try to sign a big contract in the offseason.
