In today's game, Jokic became an unstoppable player for the Lakers. Before the half-time, Jokic scored 15 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, and hit many difficult shots. Murray also played well at the crucial moment. At the last moment, when the score of the Lakers was only four points away, Murray hit two difficult three-pointers in a row, and then sent assists to his teammates to help the Nuggets win the final victory. In addition, Grant became a surprise soldier for the Nuggets in today's game, scoring 26 points in 1 1 7. The Nuggets can be said to have blossomed more.
The performance of the Lakers' three insiders today was really disappointing. Davis only got two basketballs, while McGee and Howard each got 1 basketball, which added up to only four rebounds, and there was no jokichido. This may be the reason why the Lakers lost to the Nuggets with 19 rebounds today. Besides, the Lakers feel depressed on the outside today. Caruso shot only 1 for 7 shots today, and Green shot only 1 for 4 shots. Only Davis and James scored, and no one else helped. Popper was the third player in the team, but only got 12 points.
After this game, it may be time for the Lakers to sum up and reflect. The Lakers shouldn't have played against the Nuggets with a small lineup from the beginning, which led to the team being in an unfavorable situation from the beginning. Rondo and Howard also have more opportunities. Rondo stole three times in the last quarter in 4 minutes and got 9 points and 8 assists. Howard only got 14 minutes of playing time today, and scored 4 points on 2 of 3 shots. Maybe in the next game, vogel can consider letting Howard play the No.5 position and Davis play the No.4 position, so the effect will be better.
