If things weren’t bad enough already Los Angeles Lakersafter having lost three of their last four games and after the injury of its top star, LeBron Jamesthings have gotten even worse this morning, after the Utah Jazz have taken the victory in their match against the Boston Celtics by 118 to 117, surpassing in this way the Californian franchise in the qualifying table of the Western Conference and leaving the Lakers out of the positions that give access to the play-in of the NBA. Without a doubt, an extreme situation for a historic franchise such as the angelina and that, without going any further, they had only missed the playoffs 5 times between 1948 and 2013.
Now, beyond the surprising defeat of Boston Celticswhich, as we mentioned, has disastrous consequences for the Lakers of LeBron Jamesthe other great protagonist of the night of NBA has been Stephen Currywho has only been able to score 16 points in the defeat of his own against Memphis Grizzlies (133 to 119). Some surprising records for the American base and that, in fact, suppose his worst score in a 2023 match with a minimum of 30 minutes played.
Of course, the poor performance of Stephen Curry has been the main reason that has sentenced the Golden State Warriors that they have not been able to do anything against those from Memphis, despite the great contribution of their bench (two of their substitutes, Come on y Jordan Poole have been the team’s top scorers during the game, with 24 and 21 points respectively). On the other hand, on the side of the Grizzliesthe great protagonist of the party has been a stellar Years Jackson Jr who has shone with his own light with 31 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and a magnificent 69% accuracy in shots from two in just 29 minutes of play.
Finally, regarding the close match between Utah Jazz y Boston Celticsand in the same way as in the previous game, those of Massachusetts have been resentful of a bad performance of their franchise player, Jayson Tatumwho has only scored 15 points in the game, with a poor 33% accuracy in field goals and that has weighed down the great performances of Jaylen Brown y Grant Williamswith 25 and 23 points respectively.
