Los Angeles Lakers Season: Roller Coaster of Emotions and Results, but a Glimmer of Hope

The Los Angeles Lakers season is a roller coaster of emotions and results. After rising above the entire NBA with the first In-Season Tournament title, the Angelenos plummeted, defeat after defeat, a lot of internal noise and little (or no) fluidity in the game.

Nothing and no one senses that this is going to change in the short term, with a continuous up and down, but at least the Lakers do not touch the bottom with both palms (although they come close to it many times) and they manage to cut bleeding when the rope plus hanging. This Tuesday was a clear example: after two painful setbacks against the Phoenix Suns and Utah Jazz, those in purple and gold won an important victory against the Oklahoma City Thunder (112-105).

It was a muscle exercise, with Anthony Davis and LeBron James captaining the attack. Between the two, 52 points, 27 for the power forward, 25 for the small forward. Davis also added 15 rebounds. And also defensive, especially in a second half in which the Lakers pulled from an area that had quite a few holes in their first line of containment (worked, worked, it doesn’t seem to be), but with Davis and Wood under the rim they forced OKC to channel its offensive flow from the perimeter… and it didn’t go very well with 15 of 49 from the perimeter.

From there, the death of the Thunder began in the match, as they gave the impression of losing too many balls and leaving a lot of open field for an opponent who controlled the moments of confrontation well. Williams’ 25 points and Shai’s 24 did not help the second best team in the Western Conference to extend its consecutive winning streak to five.
