Ayton is playing really tough in the paint now, making 14 of 19 shots, scoring 29 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocks. Especially with five fouls, Ayton can also dominate the situation in the final stage when he comes back on the court. On the offensive end, he can score continuously and protect the rebounds very well. Such a player is a great reinforcement for the Lakers, and is even more effective than Brother Big Eyebrow. This is a huge wealth for the Lakers.

At the last moment, he was able to score consecutively to help the team reach double digits. Of course, it is possible for him to maintain his nerve. This will be a matter of the next game. Today he is the key to the team's victory. And as long as Smith maintains his current level of confidence, he's a plug-and-play role.

Brownie is also showing its effects. He scored 5 points, 1 rebound, 6 assists and 1 steal on 1 of 2 three-pointers. There was no confusion on the court during the anxious period in the final quarter. He showed his defensive ability in the last game, and his linking ability this time. Of course, his shooting is still a big problem. As long as he strengthens it in private, he can still look forward to it in the future. Now he can enter the rotation position, especially at the current stage where the team is under heavy rotation pressure.

Hachimura's current shooting percentage is really strong, and he can maintain a stable output in every game. Even though his rebounding and defense have been complained about, his scoring ability alone can allow him to maintain his rotation position in the Lakers, which is already his fundamentals. He even scored 29 points today. When the team desperately needs to score, Hachimura is a stable point.
