Boston – In lean years, Lakers’s annual trip to Boston produced a kind of noise of crowds that could correspond to a smart watch warning. In seasons like this, as you do not have to switch to a match match in June, only Despel rises.
But there is no noise, and there is no degree of tradition, no amount of atmosphere can save Lakers from a future that has become uncertain immediately when Leberon James was subjected to the thigh strain during the Lakers 111-101 loss against Boston on Saturday evening.
When Lakers worked to return from a 22 -point deficit in the fourth quarter, James pointed to the Lakers seat for a deadline, a 40 -year -old star holding inside his left leg. While the Lakers team was gathering, James tried to freely extend the thigh muscle before walking on the field to meet his coach, Mike Mansias. James thwarted him, put his hands on the hips and slowly made to the cabinet room.
The injury came when Lakers returned to the game after the third catastrophic quarter when they scored only four points in the first seven minutes.
After the match, Lakers coach Ji Ridk said there was “clearly concerned” about James injury, but he did not provide any other details.
Lakers (40-21) struggled to defend Boston all the stars Jason Tatom and Jaylin Brown, the duo combines 71 points, with TATUM 40.
While Luka Densic ended 34 points, he was late, Celtic’s defense wanders and forced him to shifts that led to Boston’s ease. Lakers turned the ball more than 14 times to 16 Celx.
James ended 22 points, 14 rebounds and nine decisive passes.
The loss of the Lakers victory series has ended in eight games.
While any reaction to the end of this series is essentially an exaggerated reaction, the loss against Boston (46-18) highlights some of the issues that Lakers are still trying to solve as it moves to a team that is often led by Donicic.
In his second match after his injury, Austin Reeves disappeared from the game plan, at least as a game maker. He only had a pass after finishing anything in Lakers victory over Nix.
Revez 16, but Lakers, who were without Jackson Hayes and Roy Hachimura due to minor knee injuries, were unable to get another player in double characters.
Lakers play with Nets Monday night in Brooklyn.
