MINNEAPOLIS — Just over a week ago, the Lakers’ mission was clear. But what has transpired over the last week has been a reversal of what was desired. The Lakers’ offense was humming coming off a frustrating 119-118 home loss to the Orlando Magic on Nov. 21 that ended their six-game winning streak. Their 118.3 offensive rating (points scored per 100 possessions) ranked No. 4 through the first 15 games, delivering on the belief that the Lakers could be an elite offensive team. They scored at least 110 points in seven of eight games through the loss to the Magic and 12 of the first 15 games, helping them to a 10-5 record. The next step was clear: improve on the defensive end of the court, with the Lakers’ defensive rating of 117.4 in the first 15 games ranking 26th. The Lakers accomplished their goal: their defense has improved, with a defensive rating of 114.9 in their past six games (19th), including 109.8 (12th) in their last four. But it’s come at a cost – their once elite offense has fallen off significantly over the last week-plus, most evident in their 109-80 road loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday night . “It’s very frustrating,” All-Star big man Anthony Davis said. “We were really good offensively and our defense was a problem and we kind of start just focusing on defense and now our offense is kind of shifted. So we got to get back to how we were [at] the beginning of the year, playing on both sides of the ball very well. “The good thing about it is, offensively it doesn’t take that much to get back going. Defense is a little bit tougher. So with the guys that we have in this locker room, I think we will be fine to figure it out.” The Lakers’ offensive rating has plummeted to 102.4 in their past six games for the league’s third-worst mark (28th) in that stretch. The absence of Austin Reaves, the team’s third-leading scorer who has missed the last two games because of a bruised left pelvis and is listed as questionable for Wednesday’s game in Miami, has impacted the offense. But the Lakers’ offensive regression started before Reaves’ injury. The ball and player movement has taken a notable dip compared to earlier in the season. The Lakers are passing fewer times per game during this offensive lull. Old habits have replaced the ones Coach JJ Redick tried to replace with an offensive system that values player and ball movement. Related Articles “I feel like the offense was fun,” Redick said. “I really believe we’ve gotten better defensively. We’ve spent a lot of time as a staff defensively. And this is the nature of the NBA season. You don’t have a ton of time. The things you emphasize, hopefully you get better at. And sometimes when you don’t emphasize something, or you don’t work on something because you don’t necessarily have time, or you think you’re good at it and you think you have buy-in at it, you just get slippage. We gotta clean that up.” To LeBron James, the Lakers improving their offense will come down to investing similar energy as they did to improve their defense. “Just watching the film and seeing ways we can do better,” James said. “We did that a lot when we wanted to get our defense corrected and we corrected it. You spend a little bit more time on offense things too.” When: Wednesday, 4:30 p.m. Where: Kaseya Center, Miami TV/radio: NBA TV, Spectrum SportsNet/710 AMKUALA LUMPUR: Here is a recap of the announcements that made headlines in Corporate Malaysia.

His fear of failure and rejection only grew stronger with each passing day, further entrenching him in a state of helplessness.Will Riley's 19 points in the 2nd half leads No. 25 Illinois past Maryland Eastern Shore 87-40

Media: Incremental Policy 2.0 on the Horizon, Economic Recovery New MomentumNo. 10 Boise State hosts No. 20 UNLV on Friday, Dec. 6, 2024, in the Mountain West Championship Game at Albertsons Stadium in Boise, Idaho. How to watch: Fans can watch the game for free via a trial of DirecTV Stream or fuboTV . You can also watch via a subscription to Sling TV . Here’s what you need to know: What: Mountain West Football Championship Game Who: Boise State Broncos vs. UNLV Rebels When: Dec. 6, 2024 Where: Albertsons Stadium Time: 8 p.m. ET (7 p.m. CT) TV: FOX Live stream: DirecTV Stream or fuboTV Here’s a college football story from the AP: BOISE, Idaho (AP) — The playoffs start Friday night for No. 10 Boise State and No. 19 UNLV with a winner-take-all showdown for the Mountain West championship . With the College Football Playoff expanding to 12 teams this season, there’s a guaranteed berth for the highest-ranked Group of Five conference champion. The playoff committee’s penultimate rankings released Tuesday made clear the Mountain West winner will be in. Boise State (11-1, 7-0, No. 10 CFP) even has the potential to earn a first-round bye if the Broncos defeat UNLV (10-2, 6-1, No. 20 CFP) for the second time this season. “When you play in a championship game, you want to play the best,” Boise State coach Spencer Danielson said. “UNLV ... is one of the best teams around. They’ve got a bunch of talent. They play well together. They’re very motivated and driven to win this game, just like us.” If the title game goes anything like the teams’ matchup earlier this season — a 29-24 Boise State victory — it promises to be a competitive clash. At least much closer than last year’s title game when the Broncos coasted to a 44-20 win over the Rebels . BetMGM Sportsbook has made the Broncos 4-point favorites. “We’re thankful to have an opportunity for the second year in a row to be playing in the Mountain West championship game,” UNLV coach Barry Odom said. “The guys that were here last year can use those experiences to maybe put us in a better situation this year on how we prepare, how we play and and the understanding that we’ve been in a lot of big games this year already. We know a lot about our opponent, and on on the other side, they know a lot about us.” Everyone knows about Boise State star running back and Heisman Trophy hopeful Ashton Jeanty. The bruising back leads the nation in rushing with 2,288 yards this season, just 340 yards shy of Barry Sanders’ single-season rushing record. But in the teams’ first matchup this season, UNLV’s defense held Jeanty to 128 yards on 33 carries, his lowest yards-per-carry average in a game at 3.9. “(Jeanty) is a tremendous player,” Odom said. “I think he is the best player in college football. He’s got all the great traits you want to see in a running back — unless you’re trying to tackle him. We know it’s going to take all 11 guys. We need to try to eliminate as many one-on-one tackles with him as we can in that situation.” Glaring absence Although most of the spotlight on Boise State this season has focused on Jeanty and the offense, the Broncos’ defense ranks second in the country in sacks with 45. Boise State, however, will be without senior safety Alexander Teubner, who has been out since injuring his left leg Nov. 9 against Nevada. In the Oct. 25 matchup with UNLV, Teubner led the team in tackles with 14, including two for loss, with a sack and a forced fumble. It’s cold outside The gametime temperate is expected to be around 40 degrees. UNLV won twice in inclement weather, with rainy skies at Hawaii and San Jose State. “It’ll be perfect weather for (the) UNLV Rebels,” Odom said. “That’s the way you’ve got to approach it. If you look at it any differently, then you’re letting something that you have no control over mess with your emotions, and you can’t do that.” Points machine Jeanty isn’t the only Boise State player hitting the FBS record books this season. Kicker Jonah Dalmas is fourth in FBS history with 503 points and his 93 made field goals is third best and just four behind record holder Christopher Dunn. His career field-goal percentage of 87.7 is also seventh all-time. Dalmas has hit all 60 of his extra points this season and is 13 of 16 on field-goal attempts with a career long of 56 yards. Perfect away from Vegas UNLV is 6-0 on the road this season and is on a program-record eight-game winning streak away from home. The active streak is the nation’s third-longest behind Texas (11) and SMU (10). The Rebels’ last road loss was Oct. 28, 2023, at Fresno State, which scored 24 points in the third quarter of a 31-24 defeat of UNLV.
