From leading 10 points to losing! The Lakers lost to the Mavericks, the core is bad + the chain is lost at critical moments

On July 11, the Lakers lost to the Mavericks 85-87. Although it was only the summer league, because of the first pick Flag and Brownie playing in the Lakers, the attention was quite high. To put it bluntly, the Lakers lost the game is just these points

First of all, their core players cannot play well. Brownie started the game with 5 points to help the Lakers lead, but it was not possible later. He only made 2 8 shots in the game, made 1 of 6 three-pointers, scored 8 points, and failed to score a single point in the second half. As soon as the opponent's defense came up, he had no tricks and it was very difficult to score.

Then, the team's offense is stuck from time to time. The third quarter was 10 points ahead, but suddenly no one could score. He was beaten 18-2 by the Mavericks, and he suddenly changed from leading to passive. There was also a period of time in the fourth quarter that the attack could not be played, which allowed the opponent to widen the gap again. There are many loopholes in the defensive end. The Mavericks' Nemhard scored 21 points and gave 5 assists. The Lakers couldn't defend themselves. He could easily score at the basket or feed his teammates the ball. There is also a man named Miles Kelly who scored 17 points. The Lakers' defense was helpless and let him shoot three-pointers and mid-range from outside. He scored several key balls to help the Mavericks chase points and overtake.

rebounds were not snatched. The Mavericks grabbed more rebounds, which gave them more opportunities for second attacks. The Lakers lost many opportunities for defense success in vain. At critical moments, people have several more scoring opportunities by grabbing offensive rebounds. However, Lakers players are not active in grabbing rebounds and will not get stuck, so they can easily get a bargain.

Finally, it is about losing the chain at a critical moment. At the end of the game, Brownie got an open three-pointer opportunity, but he didn't make the shot, and the chance of winning was gone. In the previous key rounds, the players' running positions were also chaotic, and they could not cooperate properly and attack. Moreover, the players' mentality is not stable, and they panic when the score is in a stalemate and are prone to make mistakes. For example, Bazley grabbed a rebound at a critical moment, but failed to score both free throws, which was just too nervous, and the chance to win in the end was gone.
