The Lakers underestimated the enemy and almost overturned. The inside turret came to the rescue temporarily. The Jazz s two substitutes also gave big gifts.

Heading to Salt Lake City away from home, the Lakers once again faced off against the Jazz. However, compared to the previous game, the Jazz caused a considerable obstacle to the Lakers. And despite three days of rest, the Lakers still seemed to be slow to warm up, which is commonly known as a big break. This almost allowed the Jazz to seize the opportunity and create a big upset.

Although the Jazz failed to win, the Lakers underestimated the enemy and almost overturned, almost paying a heavy price. In this game, the Lakers' three core players still maintain their basic fundamentals, but they all have problems. Doncic scored 33 points, 11 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 steals, but his outside touch was average and he made 6 turnovers. Reeves scored 22 points and 10 rebounds, but his touch was even worse, especially only 1 of 8 shots from beyond the three-point line. James' statistics are a bit dull, but he also has 17 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists. However, like Doncic and Reeves, he did not take any three-pointers from the outside, and made a total of 4 shots.

Not to mention the other role players of the Lakers, except for Rui Hachimura, none of them scored in double figures. In this case, the inside turret Kleber's temporary rescue became the key to changing the situation of the game. If you only look at the post-game data, Kleber only had 2 points and 3 rebounds, and committed 4 fouls. But Kleber can open up the space on the court, allowing several core players to break through better, and it really helps the team in rebounding and interior defense.

At the same time, the Jazz's two substitutes also gave the Lakers a big gift. They performed slightly better. I am afraid that the Jazz will probably win in the end. Due to the original starting center Walker Kessler being seriously injured and retiring early, the Jazz coaching staff changed the starting lineup and Filipovsky became the substitute. But this arrangement seemed to affect his performance. Filipovsky only contributed 4 points and 3 rebounds in this game, and also made 2 turnovers and 4 fouls. If the state is simply not good, it is naturally not that fatal. The key is Filipovsky's purely side effect. When he played 20 minutes, the Jazz were completely suppressed and lost to the Lakers by a total of 27 points. This is too exaggerated.

Another player is Sensab. He was trained as the sixth man by the Jazz this season and performed well most of the time. But in the last game against the Lakers, he took all 6 shots from beyond the three-point line, but only made 1 goal and scored 3 points and 3 assists. Sensabaugh was even more outrageous in this game. He made 1 of 8 shots and only had 5 points and 3 rebounds. He was like the Lakers' Super Six.
