The Lakers refused an 18-point comeback! Doncic set a record triple-double, and the substitute star hit 25+8+4 steals

On November 3, the NBA regular season continues, with the Lakers playing against the Heat at home. The Lakers' offense was hot and they took a double-digit lead early. However, the Heat were able to keep up with the pace after adjustments and fell behind 36-43 in the first quarter. The Lakers still maintained a hot touch in the second quarter. Doncic also scored consecutive points, once leading by 18 points and leading by 14 points at halftime. The Heat launched a counterattack in the second half and successfully closed the gap, but unfortunately failed to continue the momentum in the final quarter. In the end, the Lakers defeated the Heat 130-120 and won three consecutive games.

James was still absent in this game. The Lakers took the lead in entering the state and got an 8-0 start. After that, the team maintained an excellent feel, scoring consecutive points inside and outside, and once achieved a double-digit lead. The Heat slowly entered the rhythm to keep up with the rhythm, without letting the point difference further widen, falling behind by 7 points in the first quarter. The Lakers worked hard again in the second quarter and once established an 18-point lead. Bronny also performed an alley-oop dunk. The Heat could also hit from the outside and successfully closed the point difference. At halftime, they trailed the Lakers 63-77.

After changing sides and fighting again, the Lakers' feeling finally declined, while the Heat seized the opportunity and began to close the point difference. The Huskers still maintained a good state, and the point difference was only 4 points after three quarters. The two teams fell into a tug-of-war in the final quarter, but the Lakers still maintained the lead. Smart hit a three-pointer to take a 7-point lead. Reeves assisted the team after a jumper to help stabilize the game. The Heat were unable to catch up after that, and the Lakers opened the point difference to double digits to seal the victory. In the end, the Lakers defeated the Heat 130-120.

Doncic didn't feel very good in this game and failed to continue his 40+ magic, but he played very comprehensively this time, making 9 of 22 shots, 1 of 11 three-pointers, and a triple-double of 29 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists. He scored 165 points in the first four games of the season, setting a first in Lakers history. In addition, Reeves had a stable performance, scoring a double-double of 26 points and 11 assists on 9-of-22 shooting; Hayes and Hachimura both scored 15 points, Smart had 11 points, and all five starting players scored in double figures.

Laravia on the bench makes the Lakers happier. It is very wise to sign him this summer. He has completely recovered after beating the Timberwolves. This time he played 34 minutes as a substitute, making 10 of 13 shots, 2 of 3 three-pointers, and scored 25 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, and 4 steals. I believe everyone now knows who the Lakers' No. 12 is, and he has become the team's leading scorer on the bench.
