EThe NBA schedule was designed so that in-game Lakers vs Nets on Christmas Day, the ‘Big Three’ of Los Angeles will gather on the same floor: LeBron James, Anthony Davis y Russell Wstbrook, contra el ‘Big Three’ de Brooklyn: Kevin Durant, James Harden y Kyrie Irving. The knee (Davis) and the Covid (KD and Irving) left the list of superstars in the middle.
And in the new crypto.com Arena, the Lakers, with one more star than their rival but worse sensations, they ended up losing the crash, 115-122 with which they added their fifth consecutive defeat and remain with a balance of 16-18 as the eighth of the West.
However, in defeat, the great victim has been, again Westbrook, named in the star catalog next to LeBron, 39 points, and Hardem, 36 + 10 + 10, but that for performance it might not deserve it.
It is true that the point guard signed a new triple-double for his account with 13 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists, but his inconsistency in shooting, 4-20, his five fouls and his three losses They completely overshadow a TD that neither served to propel your team nor did it redeem its author.
Westbrook He left the pavilion without speaking to the media, but James spoke for him and wanted to highlight what he had done well during the match instead of talking about the problems he had. In one word: defend it.
James missed all 16 missed shots, including a 0-for-3 in the fourth quarter culminating in a missed dunk that crashed at the rim with 26 seconds to go. No, LeBron didn’t talk about the grotesque in your partner’s shot.
Instead James referred to the “Spectacular “Westbrook Decision Making which led to a total of double-digit assists from the point guard and highlighted that five of his rebounds were in the opponent’s basket, giving the team more opportunities to score.
“Gave us additional possessions and options around the basket“Said James.” As for the effort, if a boy plays hard, if he leaves everything on the court, I have no problem with him. It is a league of success or failure. “
It is necessary to value that Westbrook has played in all the games of the Lakers (34), while LeBron he has lost 12 and Davis 7 and counting, why not play again for at least a month.
But there is clear evidence. In the 37 minutes that Westbrook was on the court, the Lakers reached by 23, while in the 40 that Harden played, the Nets always registered advantages of 9 or more points.
