NBA regular season, the Lakers won 132-122 against the Kings again. The Lakers played very easily in this game, suppressing the Kings with their defense and adding to their offensive performance, allowing them to maintain their advantage throughout the game. However, they relaxed in the final quarter, fortunately, their lead was large enough to secure a big victory.
Five players had perfect scores in the game. Hachimura contributed 21 points, 4 rebounds, 1 steal, and 2 blocks with an 11-for-7 shooting rate, which is perfect enough. Moreover, he has been able to maintain stable output in these two games, showing good defensive initiative, and even dominating DeRozan on the offensive end, with his three-point shooting becoming increasingly stable. Rivers can also stabilize the rhythm of the offense, as the Kings' intensity is not strong enough, allowing him to handle the ball freely, and his offensive lethality is excellent, scoring 26 points and 6 rebounds on 16-for-9 shooting, which is already sufficient.
Knights is also a key player. He helped stabilize the situation with two consecutive shots in the final quarter, scoring 18 points on 10-for-6 shooting, and his three-point shooting is recovering, which is reassuring. As long as he can stabilize, he will be a reliable scorer from the outside, and as a young player, he can continue to grow. Christie is also getting better, scoring 16 points with 3 assists and 2 steals on 5-for-3 three-point shooting, and he has done well in limiting Fox, becoming a core figure in both attack and defense for the team.
Davis had a big explosion in this game, scoring 36 points, 15 rebounds, and 8 assists on 16-for-12 shooting and 13-for-11 free throws, and even fouling out Xiao Sa. He finally showed his dominance. Of course, this is also thanks to the referees, as Xiao Sa had too many small actions on defense, and this time the refereeing was normal.
Reddish had a passing performance. He is the basic foundation for the Lakers, fulfilling his blue-collar role to the fullest, but it's hard for him to contribute much in terms of scoring, although his role is obvious.
Vincent, Russell, and Koloko all had poor performances. Vincent didn't have much form in this game, going scoreless in 6 minutes, but he did get injured in this game, so he didn't play much. Russell was very bad, affecting the rhythm when holding the ball, with poor shooting accuracy and defense, making it difficult for him to make substantial contributions. As a substitute center, Koloko has consistently poor plus-minus values each game, indicating that his skills are still lacking.
