The finale that everyone wants to see in the National Basketball Association (NBA) arrived early on the night of February 18, as Los Angeles Lakers was measured before Brooklyn Networks on the Staples Center board in a rather striking duel.
Result? The big-three of the “Super Nets” won 109-98, after a bit of a weirdness that hadn’t happened in the New York quintet since James Harden joined: A good defense And go what time to appear before Lebron James and company!
The weak defense of the Nets has allowed more than 100 points in 21 of the last 24 matches, So a massive production of the Lakers was expected, but miraculously they made the necessary adjustments against those of California to brake dry with 98 units.
Now, despite the defeat, the number 23 jersey reached the figure of 35,000 points by means of a free throw in the second quarter, so not everything was bad for “The King”, only that collectively the result was uphill.
James Harden won the battle over Lebron James
James Harden was not intimidated by LeBron James ’35,000 reasons, On the contrary, it was brilliant with a production of 23 points, 11 assists and five rebounds to lead the team to victory in the absence of Kevin Durant, followed closely by Joe Harris with 21 units, five rebounds and one assist.
In the other hand, the 32 points of Lebron James could not contribute to the triumph of the angel quintet, Who was lacking in offensive ideas in several stretches of the game without the presence of Anthony Davis on the court, as he only has one game off and they already miss him.
