NBA Express! Reeves, 28+16 Lakers win! Durant 31 points, Rockets win two consecutive games!

The NBA regular season continues. The Lakers face the Timberwolves. Reeves scored 28 points and 16 assists to help the team "defeat" the Timberwolves. The Rockets defeated the Raptors with 18 points. Durant scored a high of 31 points and was praised. Seven players on the team scored in double figures, winning two consecutive games.

Doncic and James' absence have made Reeves the core of the Lakers. He has performed brilliantly in many consecutive games. Facing the Timberwolves in this game, Doncic and James continue to be absent. The Timberwolves are also missing Edwards, Reeves, Laravia, Ayton, Rui Hachimura, and Vanderbilt, who are starting for the Lakers. Randle, K. Daniels, DiVincenzo, Gobert, and Conley are the Timberwolves' starting five.

The offensive efficiency of both sides was not good in the opening stage. The Timberwolves played a 9:0 wave. The Lakers' offense picked up. No one was able to open up the point difference in the first quarter. The Lakers fell behind by two points at 32:34. In the second quarter, the Timberwolves made more breakthroughs and the Lakers were able to respond. The score on the court was still stalemate. At halftime, the Lakers led the Timberwolves at 62:58.

Change sides and fight again, Laravia scored consecutively, and the Lakers expanded their lead, up to 20 points. After three quarters, the Lakers led 98:86 by 12 points. In the middle of the 4th quarter, the Lakers held a 16-point lead. The Timberwolves' offense flourished, and they led by one point at the end of the game. Reeves, hit a buzzer-beating floater to "complete the buzzer" 116:115. The Lakers narrowly defeated the Timberwolves. Rivers scored 28 points, 16 rebounds, 2 steals, and 1 assist in this game. Laravia had 27 points, 8 rebounds, and 2 assists. Ayton had 17 points, 10 rebounds, and 3 assists.

Reeves has maintained stable output in three consecutive games. He was able to withstand the critical moment of "complete victory" against the Timberwolves, and his 16 assists were even more impressive. Waiting for the return of Doncic and James, the Lakers, who are "led by the three cores", will be worth looking forward to if they can produce a good "chemical reaction" performance.

The Rockets defeated the Raptors 139:121. The "five major lineups" did not "drop the chain" this time and played clearly with Shen Jing as the core. The opponent double-teamed and sent the ball to Durant and Smith. 1 goal, and 5 more turnovers than the Raptors. Another hidden danger is that the defense is too weak, and tall players are prone to mistakes. These situations need to be paid attention to. In this game, the Rockets really achieved more offensive flourishes. Seven players on the team scored in double figures. Durant, who played 36 minutes in this game, made 4 of 8 outside shots, 11 of 19 from the field, scored 31 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist, and 8 free throws. 5. There are 3 blocks left, with a plus-minus value of +20. Coach Uduka praised Durant and praised Shen Jing's performance as very critical. He played 35 minutes and took 8 shots in the game, scoring 18 points and grabbing 8 rebounds. He was especially satisfied with his 9 assists. He believed that his nerves handled the team's offense "fluently" and directly disrupted the Raptors' defensive rhythm. Relying on Durant and Shen Jing's "dual-core leadership" "understands" the Rockets game. Durant has not been with the Rockets for a long time, and he still needs to get used to it with his teammates. As long as he plays reasonably, Durant can indeed be trusted. Joining the Rockets, what changes he can bring to the team needs to be continuously observed during the game. On November 2, at 8 o'clock, the Rockets will challenge the Celtics away from home. The exciting competition on the court is not to be missed...
