A small victory of 10 points is okay. Where did the Lakers win? They made 4 decisions right. Doncic achieved multiple things with one stone.

The game between the Lakers and the Hornets is another welfare game for the Lakers. Why do you say that? The main reason is because the Hornets team itself is weak, and they played this game with a remnant lineup. The final result was as everyone expected, the Lakers won a game, although the plot was a bit rich. A small victory of 10 points is okay. Where did the Lakers win? They made four decisions correctly. Doncic achieved multiple things with one stone.

So as far as this game is concerned, where did the Lakers win? There are 4 correct decisions. The first correct decision was made to improve the defensive quality in the second half. The Lakers' game is divided into two halves. The Lakers' defense was useless in the first half, especially in the first quarter, which allowed the Hornets to score 40 points. But in the second half, the Lakers woke up. After strengthening their defensive intensity in the third quarter, the Hornets couldn't adapt. Of course, the Lakers were a little relaxed in the fourth quarter when they took the lead.

The second decision is to create an advantage point. The biggest advantage of the Lakers in this game is Doncic and Reeves. The Lakers have the ball in their hands. Doncic can be said to have accomplished multiple things in this game. He scored 38 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists, which is quite thirsty. He grabbed points, rebounds and assists with one hand. As for Reeves, despite his poor shooting efficiency, he can still score points in other ways and help Doncic share the pressure of holding the ball.

The third decision is to rotate more decisively. Redick's on-the-spot adjustments in this game can be seen from the employment. Players who are in poor condition directly choose to give up, such as Knecter. On the other hand, when Redick sees something is wrong on the court, he will make corresponding changes. But then again, the Lakers substitutes were really useless in this game, which affected Redick's game arrangements to a certain extent. Fortunately, Redick was able to adapt.

The fourth decision is to speed up the pace of the game and increase the number of rounds. As far as this game is concerned, the Lakers still tried their best to increase the rhythm and play more rounds. If a remnant team like the Hornets is beaten by a big score, they will lose their morale. In addition, we should note that the Lakers also did a good job in controlling mistakes in this game. On the other hand, the Hornets' mistakes were more eye-catching and disrupted the rhythm of the game.

Generally speaking, for the Lakers, in a game with this kind of opponent, if you can win a big victory, you can win big, and you can't have too much consumption of the main force. After all, they are now in consecutive away games. Of course, in this game, the Lakers created the Big Three again, that is, Doncic + Reeves + Rui Hachimura, and the three-pointers are also quite brave. In addition, don't forget Smart, his defense is really in place and he has become an invisible hero.
