At the moment of victory, James clenched his fists to celebrate, but the Pelicans generals could not hide their disappointment.
In this game, Zion scored 40 points. When Ingram and McCollum were both in extremely bad condition, he almost completed the reversal by himself.

Russell hit a three-pointer at a critical moment to help the Lakers lead to 4 points. After that, Nongmei grabbed the winning offensive rebound and hit two free throws without James taking any shots. In the end, the Lakers won.
After the thick eyebrow grabbed the frontcourt board and hit the free throw, James could not hide his joy, and he grinned. After winning at the last moment, James also clenched his fists to celebrate and hugged his opponents one by one after the game. The expressions of other Lakers players were relatively calm, especially Davis, the thick-browed brother. He scored 20 points and 15 rebounds in this game, but his physical condition was obviously poor. He needs to worry about the next game against Nuggets . The Pelicans players could not hide their disappointment. Ingram, who made 4 of 12 shots in this game, was abandoned in the final stage. He only scored 11 points in the game. His eyes were dull and desperate.
For the Lakers, this victory allowed them to advance to the playoffs, but they will also face the defending champion Nuggets. Counting the three losses this season, the Lakers have lost to the Nuggets eight times in a row. James also said in an interview after the game that the first round against the Nuggets was extremely difficult for them.
