The Lakers turned the ball over 21 times, which was one of their worst-scoring games of the season. It was not a surprise that they lost to the Heat 110–96.

The Lakers almost set a club record for mistakes in the first quarter, which made the game very messy. Anthony Davis and LeBron James both got off to slow starts, but Davis picked it up. AD had 29 points, 18 rebounds, 6 assists, 5 blocks, and 2 steals by the end of the game. With 12 points, 6 boards, and 9 assists, LeBron was very good.

Austin Reaves got into the starting group and scored 24 points, gave out 8 assists, and grabbed 5 rebounds by the end of the game. Max Christie scored 14 points, which was a good scoring game.

The Lakers made only 4 out of 30 shots from beyond the 3-point line as a team. LeBron James and Taurean Prince both missed six shots and combined for five.

The Lakers started slowly, and the Heat were missing shots. The Heat turned things up a notch, which helped them take the lead. As the first quarter came to a close, the Lakers had already turned the ball over eight times.

For both teams, the first quarter was a complete mess. This game was not pretty at all, even though the Heat kept a seven-point lead.

It was another bad quarter for the Lakers when it came to mistakes, but Max made a 3-pointer to stop the flow for a little while. Both teams played bad basketball for most of the second quarter. The Heat kept the lead, and the Lakers were still in the game even though they weren’t playing well.

AD finally scored some points after a very slow start, but it wasn’t enough because the Heat were on fire and stretched their lead to ten points. The Lakers got going quickly, with AD leading the way by passing the ball to Austin. Austin then passed it back to AD for a dunk that slowed down the Heat a bit. Max scored 10 points off the bench for the Lakers in the first half, but it didn’t matter because the Heat were ahead 53–45 at halftime.

The second half started with a LeBron layup, a Lakers turnover, and a Tyler Herro three-pointer. The Heat were still in charge of the game, but the Lakers did turn their offense up which helped keep the game close.

AD started to take over the game offensively, bringing his point total to 20 with three minutes left in the third. Even with AD’s surge, the Lakers couldn’t manage to find enough consistency to go on a run, and the Heat maintained the lead.

Davis’ takeover continued as a layup helped the Lakers finally get even closer. The Lakers 8-0 run helped get the game within three. A shot by Bam Adebayo made the Heat’s lead by five to end the quarter. The Lakers had shifted the momentum and the оutlооk for the fourth quarter was looking a little promising.

After missing many shots, Duncan Robinson made back-to-back shots that helped the Heat extend their lead to seven to start the fourth. The Lakers just couldn’t stop the suԀԀen surge the Heat were on and the lead was extended to double digits again.

Continued domination from AD still wasn’t enough as the Lakers kept struggling to find some consistency. Robinson was the fourth-quarter savior for the Heat, knocking down shots he was missing for most of the game.

The Heat extended their lead to 16 with a minute left in the game. The Lakers just couldn’t get over the Һump. Another game that was close enough to take a few times throughout that ended with an embarrassing loss.
