Lakers lose on historic night for LeBron

LeBron James went straight to the locker room after seeing Lakers options end in unspeakable play By Russell Westbrook. His team lost a point with his 13.1 seconds remaining, but California’s point guard, who had been playing a great game up to that point, was the last in Joel’s 1-1 with Embiid. monopolized the possession.

Westbrook made two attempts but was unable to get past the center and lost control of the ball before time hit a desperate shot that smashed into the irons. The Lakers added a three-game losing streak (112-113) to another historic night for LeBron.

In the chase of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, James reached another milestone by breaking the 38,000 mark.He is just 363 short of reaching Lakers legend (38,387). If he doesn’t get hurt, he’ll be the all-time leading scorer in a few weeks. But decoration is not up to work.

Despite LeBron having a great night (35 points, 8 rebounds, 10 assists), the Lakers lost again, slipping to a 19-24 record. Not only are the Lakers not title contenders, they have to pick up speed to make the playoffs.

At a press conference, Lakers coach Durbin Hamm justified his decision not to call a timeout on the final possession. “One down and one of the players is attacking the rim… I choose that scenario every day, twice on Sundays.‘ he assured. Westbrook claimed Embiid grabbed his wrist while shooting, a gesture that the referee disapproved of. I lost my balance and with a lead of 2.13 meters, the shot crashed into the ring.

Paradoxically, if the Lakers reached the final possession of a game they had a chance to win, it was largely thanks to Russell Westbrook. The point guard signed another good game (20 points, 14 rebounds, 11 assists, most triple-doubles off the bench in history) and continues to shine in the back. When he tried to get Embiid to the post, he was stopping Embiid with great defense. But he lost his desire to give it back to the Cameroonians.

Joel Embiid led Philadelphia’s victory with 35 points and 11 rebounds, assisted by James Harden (24 points and 13 assists). The dynamic between the Sixers’ two stars had a big problem in its first season, but it’s been on the rise ever since “La Barba”, far from his pinnacle, accepted the role as point guard distributor. And the team, which has won seven of its last 10 games, continues to tighten its fight for second place in the East with Brooklyn and Milwaukee.

The Lakers will take a break after their three-game losing streak this Monday against the Houston Rockets.the worst team in the NBA.
