2 points narrowly beat him to second place in the Western Conference! Doncic set a record with 33+11+8, and James had the worst plus-minus

On November 24, the NBA regular season continued, and the Lakers challenged the Jazz away from home. In this game, the two teams fell into a tug-of-war, going back and forth on the offensive end. After that, the Lakers gradually took the initiative on the court and once led by 13 points in the final quarter. However, they were met with a crazy counterattack by the Jazz, but Markkanen and George missed the chance to win the game. In the end, the Lakers defeated the Jazz 108-106 and won four consecutive games.

James continued to play in this game, teaming up with Doncic and Reaves. The Lakers were in good shape, but failed to widen the point difference and started a confrontation with the Jazz. Afterwards, under the leadership of Doncic, they gradually took the initiative and led by 7 points at halftime. In the second half, the Lakers failed to continue their momentum and were close to the point difference by the Jazz. Fortunately, they widened the point difference again in the final quarter, but were caught up again in the end, but Markkanen failed to grasp the go-ahead ball. Doncic made two free throws and gave another chance. George missed a three-pointer, and the Lakers won a thrilling 2-point victory.

With this victory over the Jazz, the Lakers have won 4 consecutive victories. Coupled with the Spurs' loss to the Suns, this also allowed them to rush directly to the second position in the Western Conference. The Lakers' recent momentum is still very good, but their shooting accuracy is still not good. They made 10 of 38 three-pointers in the game, Doncic made 3 of 12, Reeves 1 of 8, and James 0 of 4. They need to adjust in time, which means that the Jazz are not in good shape this time, otherwise it will be really dangerous.

Doncic was in good form this time. He played 40 minutes and made 10 of 24, 3 of 12 three-pointers, and 10 of 12 free throws. He scored 33 points, 11 rebounds, 8 assists, and 3 steals. Including the data in this game, Doncic has reached 400 points and 100 assists this season in only 12 games, becoming the fastest player in history to reach this number in a single season. In a subsequent interview, Doncic also revealed, "I couldn't feel my legs today. Many shots were short. I should have made two free throws in the end."

James ushered in the second game of the season. He played 34 minutes and made 8 of 18 shots, 0 of 4 three-pointers, 1 of 2 free throws, and scored 17 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists. However, his plus-minus value of -14 on the court was the worst on the team. In other words, the team lost by 14 points in 34 minutes with James on the court, and won by 16 points during the rest time. Obviously, James still needs to gradually adapt. After all, he has not played for a long time.
