The Lakers lost to the Timberwolves, and the total score of the series reached 1-3, and the Lakers were already on the edge of the cliff. In this game, James of the Lakers played 46 minutes, made 5 of 9, including 2 of 3 three-pointers and 15 of 18 free throws, scoring 27 points, 12 rebounds, 8 assists, 3 breaks and 3 blocks, but James scored no points in the fourth quarter, and was ridiculed by the US media after the game.

As a 40-year-old veteran, he played the game in the second half, which is really a bit difficult. James was ridiculed by the media after the game. Redick really needs to go back and think about it. With the current lineup of the Lakers, this way of using people, the final result was that he was caught by the fire, which was no different from the previous Nuggets series.

James' performance at the fourth quarter was unsatisfactory throughout the series. Although he scored three-pointers in the fourth quarter at the beginning of the fourth quarter, his mistakes and missed shots at the critical moment, which eventually led to a loss. In the fourth quarter of this game, James had this situation again. There were mistakes in both offense and defense, and the team eventually lost the game again.

James' performance also reflects the problem of the Lakers' series. It's not just that James will not play in the fourth quarter, but that the Lakers will not play in the fourth quarter. The most important reason for this is the problem of lineup depth and inside line. There is no reliable inside line, which also makes the Lakers' three engines a little redundant, forced to play individual singles, and the defensive end will be consumed, and no one can stand up, which makes the Lakers even worse.

40-year-old James has tried his best. The flaws of the Lakers lineup are indeed a bit passive in the face of the Timberwolves.
