Before the game started, Redick said that James had been training with the Lakers Development League team. It is estimated that James will return after returning to the home court. Xiaoli ushered in his comeback in this game. Next, let's talk about the game process first, and then talk about the performance of the players.

Hornets Clay is full of firepower

After missing three goals recently, Knipur has got more opportunities to play. The No. 4 pick of the 25th class has proven himself that he is not only a shooter, but his ability to handle the ball has always been underestimated. I estimate, in this campaign, he scored 19 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists on 6 of 10 shots and 2 of 5 three-pointers. His shooting ability is so strong that he gives people the feeling that he can score when he takes a shot. He is very similar to Klay. This season, he shot 40.5% from three-point range and averaged 3.3 three-pointers per game, which is very good.

Bridges also got more ball rights due to his three-goal absence. In this campaign, he scored 34 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists on 11 of 18 shots. Bridges has always had good immediate combat ability, and his potential is no worse than Hachimura. However, due to the negative situation off the court, he was unable to get absolute ball rights and a big contract. Kalkbrenner, who the Lakers were interested in, was intercepted by the Hornets. He scored 9 points and 4 rebounds in this game.

Sexton is still full of passion. He scored 13 points, 3 assists and 1 steal in this game. His ability is great, but no team is willing to support him. The Hornets were quite strong in the first half when the two sides were playing against each other, but in the second half the Lakers started to get serious, and they couldn't hold it back. The team's biggest problem is poor defense. The reason why this team is still bad after so many years is that they lack a coach who can bring them defense. It's time to change the coach.

The Lakers are blooming more

Doncic performed well in this game. He made 14 of 28 in the game and 5 of 14 three-pointers. He scored 38 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists and 1 steal. Facing a team with strong defense, Doncic can perform indiscriminate singles. Facing a non-defensive team like the Hornets, he played more easily. Doncic's touch is so good, which is why he can hit those difficult goals after confrontations and fouls. His singles ability is currently among the top three.

Reeves also performed very well in this campaign. When the starters played together, Reeves played very selflessly, just to be a wedding dress for Doncic. In the transition period, when leading the substitutes to play, Reeves would be full of firepower. He was all-powerful in this campaign. He scored 24 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists on 7 of 16 field goals and 2 of 10 three-pointers. Although the three-point efficiency was not good, it did not affect Reeves' killing ability. He was able to create fouls and free throws. Young players like the Hornets were taught a lesson.

Their other three starters also performed very well in this game. Ayton made 7 of 9 shots and scored 14 points and 6 rebounds. Rui Hachimura made 9 of 12 shots and scored 21 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist. Hachimura's three-pointers have been greatly improved this season. Redick had previously praised him as like Kawhi. Smart scored 11 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists and 7 steals, with a plus-minus value of +15. This guy has average scoring ability, but his defense is too strong and his golf IQ is also high, a bit like Caruso.
