The Los Angeles Lakers lost to league leader Utah Jazz 89-114 on the road today, and suffered the longest four-game losing streak of the season.
Although this seems to be a contest between No. 1 and No. 3 in the West, in fact the two teams are in a world of difference. The Lakers have been behind in double digits after more than one quarter, and they can’t stand the firepower of the Jazz.
After missing Anthony Davis and Dennis Schroder, the Lakers’ form fell into disrepair, losing five of the last six games.
James James LeBron James scored 19 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 turnovers today. His record of 15+5+5 in 32 consecutive games this season was interrupted, which is a pity.
But compared to their own data, the overall situation of the Lakers is worrying. The Lakers have scored less than 100 in three of the last four games. They only appeared twice in the entire season last year, and 89 points are the Lakers’ season low scoring.
Since AD was injured, the Lakers’ offensive efficiency has fallen to the second lowest in the league. They feel a mess on the outside, and they are currently the league’s bottom three-pointers, three-pointers and three-pointers.
For the Lakers, they may be eagerly looking forward to the arrival of the All-Star, so that they can recover through a complete rest, while preparing to welcome back to AD and sprint for the second half.
The Lakers also suffered a four-game losing streak last season, and ultimately succeeded in winning the championship. In the next regular season, perhaps with reinforcements and injured return, they still have a chance to reverse the decline.
