The Lakers will return the news after this game. The first bad news is that Westbrook is still not in shape. Today, Westbrook is not present when the Lakers chase points. Vogel has clearly put pressure on the management, but at present, it may be a wise choice not to go to Westbrook at critical moments. The second bad news is that the Lakers' defense is declining. Currently, there is only one defense line in the interior. The Lakers' outside are too easy to get shaking, which is also a major reason why Davis has made too many fouls today. Vogel expressed dissatisfaction with Tucker again today. His several brainless breakthroughs in the first quarter today were all dribbling against people, which made Vogel crazy.
