L.A. Lakers - Utah (101:107)

Both teams struggling with injuries

  • Published:

Utah already got used to injuries constantly hitting their roster but if they do not get complete soon, they will probably not be able to get in the race for the top of the West Conference, where they belong quality-wise

The Lakers were one of the most pleasant surprises of this season for the first few weeks but the injuries soon hit them, which combined with a pretty tough schedule resulted in 7 defeats in the last 10 games. Luke Walton's team was just on a 4-game road trip which started with a bad game in New Orleans, continued with a surprising game in Chicago and finished with defeats in Toronto and Memphis. 

- We could have let go given all the injuries but we didn't. We fought. The Grizzlies got some possessions late in the game and used them. We had our chances. In this league, when you play away, the only thing you can ask for is a chance to win - Walton said after the 103-100 defeat to the Grizzlies.

Not even the brilliant Lou Williams, who hit 40 points in 32 minutes could stop them from losing. He didn't have much help from teammates. Only Deng (18p) and Mozgov (13) finished with double-digit points.

The Lakers' Calderon suffered a hamstring injury during the Memphis game. He won't be there today, which means more chance for Williams, Jordan Clarkson and maybe Huertas since Russell is also on the inactive list, just like Nick Young. We don't know whether Nance Jr. will play because he missed the game in Memphis with a knee injury.

The Utah Jazz can definitely relate to the Lakers' troubles. They would probably be racing for the top spot in this conference if they weren't forced to constantly deal with injuries. Coach Snyder was already forced to use 11 different starting lineups. However, Utah are handling the problems well lately since they won 5 out of the last 6 games, including the one on Saturday when they beat the Nuggets home 105-98. Utah almost squandered away a 23-point lead but Gordon Hayward hit 32 points and got the team into a win. 

- I found energy after the half time. I think we improved our defense in the second half. I managed to get some easier shots and the basket seemed a bit bigger then so I kept on being aggressive - Hayward said. His average in the last 7 games is 27,1 points, 5,1 rebounds and 3,6 assits with field goal shooting of 49,2 percent, including 46,7 shots for three points. 

Utah will be without Burks and Hill tonight. Favors status is still unknown. He has not gone to Utah with the team according to some reports while according to others, he is expected to make a comeback after being sidelined for 9 games.

Utah outplayed the Lakers 96-89 late October but that game should not be taken as relevant, given all the injury struggles on both teams.
