lebron james He returned to decide the course of the Lakers and the West, as few people know how to do. Three of his 37 points came in the last minute against the Kings on a play that changed the spirit of that game. And it wasn’t just any clash, it’s a regional rivalry that years ago morphed into a fierce rivalry in which little Sacramento always wants to right itself. It was close if it weren’t for facing a team that has grown in complete contrast in recent weeks.
There were high scores, a bit of speculation and a clash till the horns at the Golden 1 Centre. This new pavilion has, almost on its own (as if it had the capacity to do so autonomously), established a tradition which has been transferred to the King’s motto. When victory comes, the player presses a button on the field and shouts loudly. “ray of light”it is said. In Spanish it is imperative to have the beam of light on. With the button activated, a purple lightning bolt of sorts, as in the franchise, appears directly out of the center of the track and is visible from the outskirts of the complex. Well, the one who metaphorically activated it this time was LeBron. 8 rebounds and 7 assists plus points with 50% shooting, decisions well made in heated moments, just turned 38 and approaching the NBA record for points. The heroic character of the Lakers can be better understood if we add that, in one of the places that put the most pressure on the outsider, they extended their winning streak to five without Reeves, Walker, and of course Anthony Davis. Extended up to back to back,
dennis schroeder It was even said that what was said in front of the genius LeBron and other Lakers actors was conclusive. The German’s 27 points were added to James’ scores, but attention is also being paid to the fact that it was his signature two free throws that certainly tipped the balance with three seconds left. He saw the start in the race against Fox, who recovered badly despite being fast, and forced a staff review by the referee at Mike Brown’s request. Fox made it to the last two, but missed there and the last.
Circumstances similar to the duel with Hawkes the day before. Bad defense, yes, or better temperament of the opponent, if you want to understand it that way. Bryant (29+14) put together another performance from Bells and Westbrook (23+15), featured a stunning one-handed slam, also found another gear. The nun is the only one not given equal footing. The main difference was in the kings and there was practically no difference in terms of scoring. Parity was maintained during the 48 minutes and it didn’t last because the basketball gods didn’t want it, everything was aimed at it. In the final quarter, the Lakers started out with a nine lead, but Sabonis (25+12+7) was once again in charge of leaving his team at the opponent’s gate. Entering three minutes into the result, Fox (32+9) was tied against Schroder with a shot after taking a step back, which gave way to the aforementioned action that LeBron starred in: ball in half court, One against one against Harrison Barnes, run to right, Hueter and Murray to reduce Domentas’ arm and draw 2+1. Led by one, the visitor Westbrook made a free kick and missed the second. 132–134. Fox repeated over Schroder’s face, this time with a swinging pitch, to tie it up again. And the Germans took revenge. And the light was made, yes, but in Los Angeles.
During the finalizing, the referees failed on two tasks. In the free kick on Westbrook with which he scores 1/2 of the free kick, there is a very clear continuation towards the basket, a deliberate touch without much dribble, which was not considered good. In the foul on Schröder, which was reviewed on video, Fox’s contact on the run is minimal, even though he invades a small portion of the German’s space. Back to back, there were no-controversy endings which added a bit more spice to the rivalry.
