Lakers 92-121 Thunder player evaluation: 1 player barely passed, 9 players collapsed

NBA regular season, the Lakers defeated the Thunder 92-121. The Lakers played really badly in this game, because they were abused in the first three quarters, and the last quarter was already garbage time.

The only player who barely passed the game was Knecht. He really had no solution in garbage time. He scored 16 points on 4 of 5 three-pointers. I wonder if he can continue this state in subsequent games.

Doncic, Rui Hachimura, Rivers, Smart, Ayton, Van Der Biao, Laravia, Hayes, and Browne all showed collapse. Doncic made 7 of 20 in this game and scored 19 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals. He has a problem now. Once he continues to hit the iron, his mentality will be gone and the whole team will stall. His driving ability is still too unstable. Rivers was completely out of form, scoring 13 points and 5 rebounds on only 4 of 12 shots. Maybe he couldn't perform in the high-end game? After all, there is a talent gap, and shooting stability is not good either.

Hachimura's field goal percentage was 5 of 11, but his plus-minus was indeed the worst on the team. The reason for this is because Hachimura does not dribble or defend, and his contribution after playing is still too little. Smart's shooting was still too strong, 1 of 5 in the half, and he made many mistakes. He wasted too many opportunities. Ayton didn't have any defense in this game, he couldn't help defend, and he jumped in single defense. In addition, he made many mistakes on the offensive end, and his performance collapsed both offensively and defensively. Brownie plays in garbage time and works hard on the offensive end. Efficiency cannot be guaranteed in this aspect.

Hayes is also not good in the paint. On the defensive end, opponents can break through at will and cannot protect the basket at all. After Van Der Biao came on the court, he was like a headless fly. He had no scoring ability on the offensive end, couldn't defend on the defensive end, and made many mistakes. His role has become less and less. Laravia has been collapsing continuously, especially the three-point shooting rate. It seems that he has only scored two in the last five games. In addition, his defensive aggressiveness is also lost. It has been difficult for him to regain his previous dominance. This is a pity for the Lakers.
