Not LeBron or Davis.Blazers Ratify It: Lakers Give No More
The Lakers gave everything, absolutely everything.exhibited a lot many characters, Overcome up to 11 demerits and many defenses. lebron jameswith his plan to leave everything to his will, he signed up 31 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assistsAnthony Davis had 22 points, 10 catches and 3 basket passes, making him the most 6 plugs. But after losing to two ring contenders like the Warriors and Clippers, playoff-hungry opponents such as portland trailblazers to the dictation of apotheosis Damien Lillard With 41 points, they confirmed their third defeat in three games and its reality: They don’t give more than that, at least for now (104-106).
A number of enthusiastic “Laker” parishes are looking to close out Sunday afternoon with their first victory. Jerami Grant Last 104-106 with 3 seconds remaining and LeBron unable to reach all decisive blow After forcing the Lakers 104-104 in a game they won by 7 with 1:52 remaining.Unless the market moves, what seems to be a constant in the Los Angeles franchise has been repeated this season: Another infamous shooter series Russell Westbrook (10 points after 4/15) and another terrible streak triple (18% on 6/33).
As difficult and painful as their reality is for the Lakers, we have to realize that they are doing everything they can to adapt to it. In the absence of talent, they must defend themselves with both order and passion. run to production LeBron, Davis, and Ronnie Walker IV Those who claim to be a pleasant surprise at the Lakers -15 points – 2×1 defensive variant, change defense, constant help to cover penetration…
Such physical and tactical waste forced Durbin Hamm’s team to leave the Blazers. 44% shots from the fieldwith 19 assists compared to the Lakers’ 26 and just 38 points in the paint against the Los Angeles franchise’s 66. Nurkik. The problem is that all that effort goes to waste when you’re only shooting 44% from the field. Additionally, he has a very low triple shooting percentage against opponents at 18%. A decent 37%.
Without a reliable point guard, the Lakers are forced to play often one-on-one, opens Man Liberated on the Perimeter with a charm created by LeBron and Davis and shoots threes a lot. But the lack of external threat – from the surrounding he is neither 2/9 “Bron” – affects everything else in that neither the “King” nor Davis enjoys it. “interval” Appropriate, as rival players’ pucks are thrown at them. All that mattered was the image of Nurkic arcing to Davis at 0/3. Still, LeBron and Davis have scoring ability, but if they don’t shoot from the start, they won’t benefit from the space they create.
The Lakers start clippers, was effervescent in the broadest sense of the word. They overwhelmed the Blazers early on with a 10-2 run before fading away.Another problem with these Lakers is they go down blow, of Lillard. Hamm’s men’s dominance continued until the point guard was on the All-Star plan.With difficult projects in mind ring Lillard has repeated it in all the franchises in his life – although it’s more realistic for now because the gold and purple ones wear it. 41 points Three wins for the Suns raise Portland’s cash.
With 14 goals in the first quarter, Chauncey Billups They were already 24-32 at the end of the first quarter, but had everything under control until LeBron took 21 of 31 points in the second half (48-55 at halftime). The Lakers proudly and openly turned themselves in to him as a point guard. A triple jumper, a rebounder, and all that was asked of him Davis and the defense did the rest. With a spectacular 10-0 run, the Gold and Purple teams were 83-78 at the end of the third quarter with a 7-7 lead (102-95) with 1:52 remaining.
That was when the Lakers fell apart again Lillard. Another “stone” from Westbrook, a triple (102-104) on the bounce from the Portland Star with 12 seconds left, a penetration by LeBron, and another penetration by Grant finished to decide. A fierce and methodical Lakers is already what Durbin Ham wants. But they still aren’t who they are.

I have been working as a sports journalist for about 6 years now. I currently work as an author at Sportish, which is a sports news website. I mainly cover sports news and I love writing about all aspects of the sport. I also have experience working as a broadcast journalist, so I have some great insights into how sport is reported and presented.
Head coach of “Kharkov Falcons” Valery Plekhanov He summarized the team’s 2025 results and talked about the preparations for the continuation of the season:
“Summing up the results of the calendar year, I want to congratulate all our fans on the upcoming New Year and Merry Christmas, wish our favorite team peace and good victories! “Kharkov Falcons” are the first players of this Super League season, so second place at the moment is a good result.
There are a few points we would like to emphasize separately. First of all, seven players from last season’s active squad won the Premier League together, but five of them never played in the Super League. Therefore, the experience they gained in the first half of this season is almost priceless. Secondly, Kharkiv Falcons are one of the two champion teams that did not play a single match at home. It’s very difficult when you’re not playing for your fans, you’re training in one gym, and you’re playing in a different gym every time, even on home tours. In these conditions, 4 defeats in 13 matches is a good result.
One of the most negative moments of this year was not being able to participate in the last four of the Ukrainian Cup. Unfortunately, we were a little unlucky in the draw. After an emotionally difficult and physically exhausting match with Krivbass, we did not have enough strength for the next match against Kiev-Basket in the quarter-finals. Unfortunately, our performances in the cup are over, but now we will be able to focus all our efforts on the championship.
Our main problem now is injuries. We have five injured players, three of whom have serious injuries that require a long recovery period. We’re about to get off to a very tough start to the new calendar season because the Falcons will be playing basketball six weekends in a row, which means six road trips with no rest time. If we could count on all twelve players in the squad at the beginning of the season, there will no longer be such a rotation. Therefore, all the responsibility and burden will fall on the players in the rankings. I hope they get over their injuries in the new year, recover from their injuries as soon as possible, return to work and help their beloved club properly represent Kharkiv in the Super League.
Despite the holidays, we have training scheduled almost seven days a week. “I really hope that by January 10 we will be a combat-ready team that can solve serious problems.”
