The season of Los Angeles Lakers continuous like a nightmare. The Crypto.com Arena saw a team with some confident and good performance but an awful end of match. The team of Frank Voegel add 7 defeats in the last 10 matches.
In same terms as other games on this season, the history repeated. LeBron James was the best player (in the match and of his team) with 26 points, 12 rebounds and 5 assists. But the “yellow team” have got a lot of problems as a team. So, accordingly, LA Lakers threw the good game that they had done. Against Mavericks of Luka Doncic they were 21 points behind during the second quarter. However, they did an awesome second half and with 7 minutes to end, the local team was 6 points ahead Dallas.
The coach of LA Lakers was one of the most criticised because of the way to play and his decisions during the matches. In the Lakers Postgame Interview he said this: “I don´t know if u can do a better job with Luka that we have done tonight. Our players actually competed. Our assistants also competed, but he had that section of lucidity in a critical moment to achieved some consecutive shots. We were not good enough…it hurt. All these guys are suffering out there, but we keep working on it”. Lebron´s team have an advantage of just 2 games regarding to eleventh in the West Conference.
About Luka Donic, he did a complete game. With 25 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists was one of the best in the team of Jason Kidd. He scored 8 points in the last minutes of the match to push her team to the victory. Jalen Brunson also did an amazing performance with 22 points in 33 minutes that he played. The American Fonney-Smith was really near to double-double with 16 points and 9 rebounds.
LeBron James is confident. The NBA legend and one of the best players in the league keeps without throw in the towel: “There are still games to play. Until i get trampled, cut my head and bury underground. So that is my confident”. Carmelo Anthony was the best in his team besides LeBron. The MVP of 2017, Rusell Westbrook, did an inadequate performance according to his level but he declared that he will work hard to change this bad moment of Lakers.
