Lakers 108-106 Jazz player evaluation: 8 players passed, 1 player was sluggish

NBA regular season, the Lakers defeated the Jazz 108-106. The Lakers played quite ups and downs in this game. They took the lead in the first half, but they collapsed at the beginning of the third quarter and were able to come back. They continued to maintain their advantage in the final quarter, even if they lost points continuously at the last moment. Fortunately, the advantage was big enough and they finally won the victory.

All 8 people in the audience gave a passing performance. Doncic's efficiency in this game is still too low. He shot 3 of 12 from the field. This efficiency is still not good. Fortunately, Doncic was able to maintain some strong defense in the final quarter, even though he was still making three-pointers, scoring 33+11+8, but he made 6 turnovers, and his state still needs to be adjusted. James' performance in the final quarter is still good. Whether it is scoring or organization, he can give good output. But James was unable to provide any intensity on the defensive end at other times, and his plus-minus value was still the lowest on the team.

Rivers also had a problem with his shooting percentage in this game. He was shooting three-pointers throughout the game, and his total shooting percentage was only 7 of 17. This efficiency is still almost meaningless. He scored 22+10+4 in the game. Hachimura's offensive stability is still acceptable, scoring 13 points on 4-for-8, but basically there is no need to expect too much on the defensive end. Smart is working hard on the offensive end, but his defensive pressure is good. Through this performance, his plus-minus value is still the highest on the team.

Hayes' finishing under the basket is pretty good. When Ayton can't play, he can finish steadily and protect rebounds, which is very satisfying for him. Vincent and Kleber scored consecutively at the last moment to help the team stabilize the situation. Especially Kleber, who is very tough on the defensive end, but still needs to remain confident on the offensive end. He is a player worthy of recognition.

Laravia is the only one with a sluggish performance. The defensive end is arrogant and there is no defensive intensity. The offensive end is still working hard, and his stability is still a bit low. Let's see if he can adjust after the end of the game.

Ayton retired from injury, so I won’t comment.
