In an intense and unpredictable match, the Lakers managed to secure a narrow victory over the Grizzlies with a final score of 109-103, finally putting an end to their losing streak. Honestly, the process of this game was enough to keep everyone on the edge of their seats. From the opening tip-off to the closing moments of the fourth quarter, the Grizzlies launched a fierce counterattack several times, almost dragging the game into overtime. On the Grizzlies' side, players like Bane, Morant, and Jackson were indeed full of vigor, especially Morant, who almost single-handedly led his team to catch up in points during the fourth quarter. However, he ultimately failed to find the right solution at the critical moment. It was the Lakers' veteran combination that played steadily, ultimately helping the team stabilize the victory. The Grizzlies' defense once made the Lakers somewhat uncomfortable, especially James, who was tightly guarded several times in the first few minutes, making it seem as if his condition wasn't particularly good. Unfortunately, although the Grizzlies had some gains on the defensive end, their offense was overly reliant on individual play, especially Morant, who scored 24 points throughout the game but often relied on his own individual efforts to score, failing to drive the fluidity of the team's offense. Speaking of Davis, this guy really didn't disappoint the Lakers fans. He briefly left the court in the third quarter due to shoulder discomfort, causing everyone to be extremely nervous, feeling that the game might be in jeopardy without Davis anchoring the inside, as the Grizzlies…

The Rockets and the Warriors narrowly win their games, while the Mavericks make a comeback! Here are the latest rankings in the Western Conference, with an expanded gap between the 2nd and 3rd place teams. The Warriors' close victory over the Pistons: Curry struggles but still wins the key game The Warriors embarked on an away game challenge against the Pistons, which was undoubtedly a tough match. From the beginning of the game, both sides were locked in fierce competition, with the atmosphere on the court as tense as a fully drawn bowstring. The Warriors' players were determined, knowing the difficulties of playing away from home, giving their all in every attack and defense. As the core of the Warriors, Curry attracted countless eyes from the start. He kept running and weaving through the court, trying to create excellent scoring opportunities for his teammates while also looking for his own shooting rhythm. However, this night, the basket seemed particularly "stingy" to him beyond the three-point line. He repeatedly jumped to shoot, with that standard shooting posture drawing beautiful arcs in the air, but the ball repeatedly missed the basket. Throughout the game, Curry made only 5 out of 21 shots, including just 2 out of 14 three-pointers. Such statistics would usually be enough to plunge him into a whirlpool of public opinion. But basketball has never been a one-man game, and the other players of the Warriors showed tenacious fighting spirit in this game. In the first three quarters, they steadily built up an advantage through tacit cooperation and active…

The game between the Lakers and the Grizzlies ended with a victory for the Lakers, 116-110, in a thrilling match that had everyone on the edge of their seats! Both teams performed equally well, but the Lakers ultimately managed to halt their losing streak with their solid strength and stable performance in the crucial moments. The game was not only closely contested until the final moments, but the intense face-off was particularly exciting. Who were the heroes of this match? A closer look at the statistics reveals many highlights, which we will now break down one by one. From the start, the Lakers' defense was like a well-oiled machine. The Grizzlies scored only 20 points throughout the entire first quarter, as if the Lakers had set up an impenetrable net, with each Grizzlies attack hitting a solid shield. What's even more surprising is that the Lakers did not focus solely on defense; they quickly found their rhythm on the offensive end and easily established a double-digit lead. With such an opening, isn't it particularly satisfying for Lakers fans? This is much stronger than their lackluster performances in previous games. In the second quarter, the Lakers unleashed their firepower once again, scoring 34 points in a single quarter, a scoring efficiency that is truly impressive. The Grizzlies tried to catch up, but every time they gained momentum, they were held back by the Lakers' precise defensive counterattacks. By halftime, the Lakers had built an 18-point lead. At this point, the Lakers resembled a high-speed train, not only moving fast but also…

Houston Rockets have shown impressive offensive and defensive capabilities this season, securing the second-best record in the Western Conference. Their rebounding statistics and defensive efficiency rank among the top in the league. Coach Udoka emphasizes that strong defense is crucial for increased playing time, a principle that has helped develop the team's young talent. Despite their defensive prowess, the Rockets are perceived as lacking in offensive power, particularly in clutch situations, which some believe hampers their championship potential. The scoring issues for the Rockets are being addressed by their star player, Jalen Green. Drafted with high expectations due to his exceptional talent, Green's NBA journey has been marked by ups and downs, leading to criticism about his consistency. However, his recent performances have been nothing short of spectacular, earning him recognition as a potential superstar. According to ESPN's data experts, Green has averaged 31.4 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 4.2 assists over the last seven games, with shooting percentages of 53.5%, 50.0% from three-point range, and 94.1% from the free-throw line. He is the only player in the league to average 30 points with such high efficiency in all three categories. His scoring has been consistent, with at least 25 points per game since the start of 2025, and his mid-to-long-range shooting accuracy has significantly improved. In key matchups against strong opponents like the Memphis Grizzlies and Denver Nuggets, Green has delivered outstanding performances, scoring 42 and 34 points respectively. His ability to outperform opposing stars like Ja Morant has been particularly noteworthy. Even in a game against the Lakers, he…

Recently, there has been a news story involving Jimmy Butler and trade rumors that is filled with dramatic twists, evoking many thoughts and feelings. You see, the trade was on the verge of completion, only one step away from being finalized. However, no one could have anticipated that Butler would intervene, causing the deal to fall through in an unexpected turn of events, leaving everyone somewhat taken aback. Initially, Butler was close to being traded to the Memphis Grizzlies, with the trade plan almost set in stone. The Grizzlies were willing to invest heavily to form a trio lineup featuring Butler, Jackson, and Morant. They offered significant assets, including Smart, Kennard, Clark, as well as two first-round and second-round draft picks in 2025. At first glance, this trade proposal was not particularly outstanding but was at least reasonable. The Heat's management had once considered agreeing, thinking that if they could offload Butler, it would alleviate the burden he brought to the locker room. It was at this moment that Butler demonstrated his "personal will" - he directly informed the Heat's management that he had no intention of joining the Grizzlies. Look at that; it's like he's creating trouble for himself. The Heat's management had always believed that this trade was a done deal, never expecting that Butler would ultimately make the decision, giving them an unchangeable "death order." As a result, the previously nearly finalized five-for-one trade fell apart due to Butler's "non-acceptance." The Grizzlies could only sigh helplessly, facing such a situation, having no options but to watch. In…

On January 14th, Beijing time, the Rockets won a game, but one of their top-salary stars was very unhappy. The whole team was having a meeting to celebrate, but he shrugged and walked back to the bench, feeling out of place. The Rockets narrowly defeated the Grizzlies with Green's explosive performance of 42 points. This season, they have already defeated the Grizzlies three times, making them the Grizzlies' absolute nemesis. This victory can only be attributed to Green and Amon Thompson, who were undoubtedly the two biggest contributors. Green scored 42 points, while Amon contributed 19 points, 13 rebounds, and 5 blocks. They are truly a perfect match. However, during the Rockets' victory, there was someone who felt out of place, and that was another top-salary player on the team, Shen Jing, who has a contract worth 180 million. When the Rockets finally secured the win through consecutive free throws, Shen Jing was substituted off and continued to shrug as he walked back to the bench. Four of his teammates were in a meeting, but he was shrugging, which made him seem even more out of place. At that time, Fan Qiudan gathered his teammates around him and held a meeting with Amon Thompson, Dillon Brooks, and Jalen Green. However, Shen Jing just shrugged and walked towards the bench without participating in the meeting. Later, when he saw Adams come on, he went to rest. It became even more absurd when Shen Jing stood with his hands on his hips at the sidelines, watching the team win without showing the…

NBA regular season continues to be played, with the Rockets hosting the Grizzlies at home. The Rockets have been in good form recently, securing a three-game winning streak. In this game, the Rockets' offensive performance was average, but fortunately, Green's efficient play helped the team keep up with the score, trailing 23-30 in the first quarter. In the second quarter, Green continued his stable performance, and White Magic, who came off the bench, also performed efficiently, with the Rockets trailing 57-60 at halftime. In the second half, both teams fought fiercely, but in the final quarter, the Rockets once trailed by 13 points. Fortunately, Green led the team with a 14-2 run to narrow the gap, and in the end, Amen made a free throw to seal the victory. Green has proven that as long as he has the ball, he can perform, having scored over 25 points for five consecutive games. He is now a true scoring weapon with high offensive efficiency (a shooting percentage of 72.2% in this game), capable of driving and shooting, creating fouls, and not shying away from key shots, scoring 10 points in the fourth quarter alone. This season, Green has scored over 30 points in seven games, with the Rockets maintaining a perfect 7-0 record in those games. He finished the game with 42 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, and 1 steal on 13-of-18 shooting, including 5-of-6 from three-point range. Today, it was entirely Green's individual effort that carried the Rockets' offense; without his outstanding performance, the Rockets would have lost much earlier.…
