Heat. Heat. N. Brian Anderson alongside Grant Hill and Clark Kellogg. Our reporter is Alli Leforce. And now Dallas’s starting group. A pair of first overall picks of the front court. Flag and Davis. Kyrie and Clay pair up to make the back court. And it’s Gaffford in at the five. Here’s Flag. Gaffford with a screen on James. Shot clock at five. Pass to Irving from behind the ark. James with the rebound. And the shooter had very little space on that attempt. And guys, that’s exactly the kind of high impact defense they want to see out of him. To the inside and slam dunk by James. LeBron James. Power and athleticism on full display with the jam. Clark, over the last few seasons, LeBron’s three-point shooting has been more efficient than ever. Yeah, how about this, BA? Since 24, he’s right around 40% from deep on five attempts per game. So, that’s really impressive. And you know, a guy like him, his greatness, part of his greatness is how he continues to reinvent his game, making modest modifications to what he does. Here’s Aiden after the basket by Dallas. Yep, that one goes. Nice work from Don doing a good job finding a way to get it done inside. And so it’s Irving with it. He brings it up for Dallas outside Davis. Outside Irving [Applause] pass to Gaffford and Aiden pulls it down. Now Los Angeles with it. Now here is James. Back to Aimura. Donic feeling it out a bit. [Applause] And the first quarter of action, two minutes in. The layup off target. Pass to Irving. Here’s Flag. The three is up and good. coming on the assist by Irving. Yeah, Flag has that three ball. His bag is pretty deep. And from the sideline, let’s catch up with Alli. I did briefly speak with JJ Reic. He spoke about their defensive schemes tonight, especially in relation to Anthony Davis. He said it’s essential that we limit his impact. We have to stay strong inside and not allow Davis to intimidate us no matter what. Strong words from coach. We’ll see if his guys can make it happen. Back to you guys. Good job there, Ally. Now here is James back to Aimura outside Reeves. I got the outside. [Applause] Los Angeles needs to get off a shot. And once again off the mark by Los Angeles. And so Davis will bring it up for Dallas. Here’s Flag inside. And Davis gets it to go on the assist by Flag. Davis really going up strong once he’s near the basket. Love seeing him do that. Trying to find a spark here. Yes, indeed. A rough stretch offensively. They could really use a basket. Donic passes to Aimura. [Music] Now James fires the three. Gaffford grabs the miss. Dallas leading by three. Pass to Irving. [Music] Here’s Flag. Here’s Davis. Perfect night so far. Two for two. AD just shoving past the inside contact that time. Powerful move getting it done. And so now a timeout called by JJ Reic. He’s going to gather the troops and talk it over. [Applause] The breakers make a noise. [Applause] Lakers trail by five. [Music] Donic outside. Nice ball movement by Los Angeles. [Applause] James outside on the wing. Aimura out to the wing. Hayden finds Donic. Smart outside and once again off the mark by Los Angeles. The Mavericks lead by five. And Clark for all the excitement around acquiring Luca Donic. Now the Lakers hoping to get him back to the NBA finals. Yeah, his youth sets them up for the future. NBA, but with LeBron James in the fold, they still want to try to win now. And the layup is good off the glass. Nice job by Hachimura. He is so good below the foul line. That’s the flag. Back to Irving. Fires the three. Smart with the defensive effort. Los Angeles has gone 0 for three from downtown. is Smart is a very physical player. He doesn’t fear getting hit while trying to score. First team, Los Angeles shooting their first free throws. First trip to the line in this one. Mark two shots. [Applause] Shooting two push on the miss. And that one falls for Smart. And that one goes in. Two from the line that time. And so it’s Dallas with it. Irving the pass to Gaffford. Here’s Flag. [Applause] Irving looking around. And out of bounds. Los Angeles will have it. [Applause] The Lakers have gone three of eight so far. Donic outside. Aimura outside back to James. Nice move and they’re going to count that bucket and they’ll send him to the line. It could be a three-point play. Weight room muscle on display there. James, even when he gets hit, he can still score. Let’s get a quick check of the scoring breakdown here for the Lakers. They’ve been really going at the defense in the painted area. And so far, the opposition really hasn’t had an answer for them. I would like to highlight too, guys, the excellent passing they’ve done early on. I mean, they’ve done a really good job putting the ball into the hands of guys ready to shoot it. And the free throw, no good. Look, the physicality has always stood out with LeBron. It’s been obvious, but his basketball IQ is what makes him such a special special player. I mean, he sees the game like very few ever have. AI Burl from long range and it’s flagged with a rebound. The Mavericks have gone four of 10 shooting the rock in this first quarter. Thompson passes to Gaffford. Oh, and there’s the whistle on the shot. So, two free throws for him coming up. First trip to the free throw line for him in this one. Shooting Dallas. Two shots. That free throw good from Gafford. [Applause] [Applause] Both free throws good from Gaffford. [Applause] And so it’s Smart who brings up the ball for Los Angeles. They trail by one. James goes in. Pass to Aiden. The shots good on the assist by James. Sees his man. Threads the pass inside. Excellent teamwork. Dallas has gone one for five from three-point range. A cold start. Here’s Gaffford is covered by Aiden outside. Irving the three ball. He hits that one. Two for five now. Trading the lead back and forth. Neither side is willing to back down. Yeah. Yeah, and the lead has changed hands and it just hasn’t stayed in those hands very long when it’s changed. Back and forth we go. And here’s Donic outside. Another missed shot. He’s one of five. Looking shaky out there. Grant looking at Cooper Flag. His versatility is what makes him such a highly touted prospect. The NBA Cooper can do a little of everything offensively. He also covers a lot of ground defensively at 6’9. And on top of his balanced skill set, his intangibles are just elite. So it’s Los Angeles now after the Mavericks picking up a basket just a moment ago. Donic no good. Oh man, he can’t get anything to fall. You can feel his frustration and he’s got to find other ways to contribute then because his shot making is not happening right now. Now here is James Aton and no good. Nice D from Gafford. Davis with it. Aimura covering and the dunk by Gaffford. Oh, just an artful little reverse slam. Power and style. That was sweet. Outstanding awareness and a terrific finish. Now here’s Smart. Back to Donic. Stolen by Thompson. Outside Davis. [Applause] Irving against Smart. Pass the flag. Gaffford the screen. Shot clock at six. Outside Davis for three. No good that time. Lakers trail by six. And here’s Donic outside. Davis for the rebound. Davis has got his fourth rebound in this one. Pass to Irving. Aimura against Davis. right side. Irving smart with the defensive effort. Well, the Lakers shooting 33% on the first quarter. Let’s go to the sideline and hear some news about Austin Reeds. Ally, what are they saying? I caught up with the head athletic trainer for Los Angeles. He let me know that it’s a strained hip which causes plenty of soreness and shooting pain in that area. It’s an injury that may have sidelined some players, but they’ve cleared him to return. I’m sure he’ll be playing through some pain. Uh, but he’ll try to get through it. Okay, thanks for that. Now we know how things are coming along, Grant. That’s true. It’s the uncertainty factor with injuries that can be so hard to handle. And you know, for him, just watching his teammates unable to contribute, that’s really a helpless feeling. Let’s check in with our reporter, Ally Leforce. Hey, Anthony Davis prefers playing power forward. He said, quote, “If I have to play the five, then it’s totally fine. At the end of the day, I trust coach’s decision.” I’m pretty sure he heard AD wants to play the four, but I want to win. So, if that’s me playing the five, that’s what it’s going to be, Ryan. He can do both. Okay, Ally, thanks a lot. Now, here’s Aimura over Irving and the basket by Achimura. Aimura so strong and physically imposing, he’s not bothered by the contact at all. So Jason kids decided to call timeout here. He might have seen something and he [Applause] a minute 20 left in the first. Lively finds Davis. Good D by Vanderbilt. Well, you got to miss sometimes, but that one seemed like a gimme pass to Clea with the step back. Grantic with the bucket. And now it’s just a two-point Dallas lead. You know, as I watch Dantic, I think it’s feudal to try to distract this guy. His focus and concentration and control of himself is excellent. Now here’s Russell. Now Davis guarded by Vanderbilt and Davis gets it to go on the assist by Russell. Davis has got six points. He’s a potent mix of effort and ability. Hard to shut down a player of his caliber. Here’s Donic. Christie with a rebound. Dallas leading by four. Just two seconds between the shot clock and the game clock. Pass to Russell. Outside Davis. Oh, almost had a four-point play right there. Thought he’ll go to the line with a chance for three. Davis’s skill set is a nightmare for defenders. That’s why they have a tough time guarding him without fouling. It’s his first trip to the line at the line for three. [Applause] First free throw is good. And you know, for a big man, Anthony Davis has always been above average at the free throw line. [Applause] And he’s good on the second. [Applause] The last one’s off. They’ll settle for two to the paint. Here’s connect and he converts the layup. They’re punishing those late defensive rotations. Getting good looks inside throughout the half. To the middle. Here’s Davis and he floats it in for the easy two. Credit the sweet setup on that one. getting enough shots in close to play inside out. And so it’s Dallas with a six-point lead at the close of the quarter. And it’s all due to their ability to own the paint. They’ve been dominant down low. All right, stick around. We’ll be right back after this. [Applause] And for those of you just tuning in, second quarter action is where we are. And guys, let’s get your take on the scoring breakdown for Dallas. To me, it’s been the ball movement. That’s been the key. I mean, going from good to great, not settling for a good shot, making that extra pass, keeping the defense off balance, and taking great shots. And the other thing you notice is how determined they’ve been to get into the paint and get buckets around the rim. So the Mavericks five right now. Davis and Lively the lengthy combo inside. D’Angelo Russell is out there with Max Christie and it’s Washington in at the three. The small forward Davis. Vanderville pulls it in. Lakers trail by six. Here’s the misses from short range. Mavericks shooting around 41%. puts up a three. Christiey’s shot is off. The Lakers shooting 35% so far in this one. [Applause] Benson passes to Reed. His first shot coming late and the rebound goes to Dallas with the defense absent. That was a great opportunity but no go. Down low and stolen by Vanderbilt. [Music] Larabia right side. Reeves the pass to Vincent. Reeves with a screen on Russell on the wing. Vincent guarded by Russell from deep. Reeves. Nope. Another miss. 0 for two to start the game. Dallas leading by six to the middle. And then Davis punches it home. You know that’s one that’ll stay with us for a while. I mean, Davis one of those guys that can really electrify a crowd no matter what building he’s in. [Applause] For Los Angeles, they’ve gone 0 for four in the second quarter. [Applause] Vanderbilt. A screen on Russell. And Vanderbilt slams it in. Oh yeah, that’ll do it. Wow, an emphatic two-handed slam. I tell you what, if he’s got a few more of those in him, this lead will really start shrinking. Now, here’s Russell. Still no points. Can’t hit it from 12 ft. They’re searching for a way to score. Yeah, buckets have been very tough to come by. The shot by Reeves. No good. And so Davis will bring it up for the Dallas Mavericks. They’ve only given up two points this quarter. Lively passes to Washington. Some nice ball movement by Dallas. The three from Russell knocks down the triple and the Mavericks lead by nine. Grant, you are a Hall of Fame small forward, so you know a bit about the position. What’s key in excelling at the three? Well, BA, you have to be able to space the floor. We almost never see a three or even four who can’t make threes. And on the other end, lots of times you’re matched up with quick guards. Just two to shoot. Washington grabs the miss. The Mavericks lead by nine. Davis, the pass to Christie outside Russell. Pass to Lively. Davis from long range. It’s rebounded by Los Angeles. Vincent passes to Reeds. Back to Vincent to the inside. Here’s Vanderbilt and that one’s good. That makes him two for three. Great use of the screen. That’s how you practice it and draw it up. So Jason Kids decided to call timeout here. He’s going to take a moment to give him [Applause] Vanderbilt against Davis. Vanderbilt with the block and they’ll keep possession. Offensive rebound beyond the ark. Again, the miss by the Mavericks. Lakers trail by seven. Benson outside. Reeves with a screen on Irving. Let’s go with a three. Benson can’t hit. Dallas has gone just one of five so far this quarter from three. And a slam dunk by Lively. Climbing the ladder going upstairs. Lively, he doesn’t have to go far to flush it. Los Angeles has gone 0 for three from deep to begin the second. And so now a timeout called by JJ Reic. Coach taking this moment to speak to his guys, maybe alter some of the game plan. [Music] [Applause] Here’s connect. Pass to Donic. And here’s Reeds. Three-pointer. Davis with a rebound. Davis has got his sixth rebound on the night. And it’s clear Anthony Davis welcomes the challenge of leading as the team’s best player. And it’s a role he occupied in New Orleans. Now the opportunity to play more at the four spot. He got what he wanted and is ready to take the weight. Dallas leading by nine. [Applause] A chance to push it to double digits, but it’s off the mark. Reeves with a ball now. Thompson defending. Donic outside. Jacks up a three and Kyrie Irving clears the rebound. He’s letting it fly, but the results just have not been there to the wing on the left outside. Davis. That three is off the mark. Nothing’s going his way since the horn. I mean, looks like he used up all his makes in the last quarter. Clea screen on Irving. Pass to Donic. Just five on the clock to the paint. Stolen by Davis. And now the Mavs on the run. Here’s Flag. He’s covered by Connect. Irving against Donic looking to get it going. Irving that’s good. Irving’s got nine. Hey, the skills of Kyrie are obvious, but what isn’t so obvious is his underestimated strength. Up top, Vanderbilt. [Music] Pass to Reeves to stop the drought. Lively grabs a miss. Lively’s got his fifth rebound in this one. Davis the pass to Irving and there’s a whistle that’s going to go on Derek Vanderbelt. That’s his first foul of the game. DeAndre Aton, he’s checked in for Los Angeles. LeBron comes in for Reeves. And Dallas also making a switch. Gafford, he’s checked in for Lively. Has the flag. Davis a screen. Oh, outside for Irving. Just five to shoot from about 19. The Lakers with a rebound. Hey, sometimes the best looks don’t equate to points. Now here’s Duch back to Connect. He shoots it. That one’s good from James on the assist by Connect. Six points for him. LeBron’s greatest gift to me is how he sets up so many teammates with catch and shoot opportunities. It’s nice to see them return the favor. From deep. Here’s Donic. He drops it from range. Can’t give those openings defensively. He’ll just keep exploiting them. Has the flag. And here’s Davis. Guarded by Vanderbilt. Gaffford. The screen. Davis against Vanderbilt. Davis misses. This has not been his best quarter. You know, guys, it seems to me as though he’s over anxious. He seems to be pressing, trying too hard, moving too fast. Just needs to calm himself down and wait for good shots. Now here’s Donic and booking for Vanderbilt. He was free to fire at his leisure there. Not much resistance. And so it’s Irving with it. He brings it up for the Mavs. They’ve led by as many as 11. Here’s Flag outside bearing his second of three attempts and answering the call with his own triple. I love the competitive edge Flag plays with outside Vanderbilt. [Music] James deciding where to go with it. Aiden in the high post. [Music] Not going to go that time. Nice D from Gaffford inside. Here’s Davis. Oh, look at Davis hustling up court. Wow. Davis on fire right now. Doing just about anything he wants on offense. Has to connect. Aton inside. He’s guarded by Gaffford. Aiden no good. Dallas leading by eight. Here’s Thompson. [Applause] Now here’s Gaffford. He’s covered by Aiden. And it’s Gafford missing. He felt the defense on that attempt. Great rim protection. Aiden with a screen. James passes to Aiden. Got to be careful how you guard Aiden. He’s so creative at finding ways to draw fouls. First team Los Angeles shooting their fourth and fifth shots at the foul line in this game. [Applause] Shooting two. [Applause] That’s good from Nate. Some changes for Los Angeles. Aimura comes in for Vanderbilt. And Austin Reeves is subbed in for Connect. And Dallas with a change here, too. Washington’s checked in for Davis. [Applause] Aiden hits them both. Now here’s Irving. Nine points in the game. pass to flag from outside the ark. Irving no good. Lakers trail by six. James passes to Donic. Thompson against Reeds. James outside. Oh, that’s easy work for LeBron inside. And once James gets the ball near the rim, just let him go to work because he knows what he’s doing down there. Has a flag. And here is Thompson. Washington outside again. The miss by the Mavericks. And for the Lakers, they’re shooting just 32% here in the second. And it’s slammed in by Aim Mura. That is big time by Hatimura. No mercy at all. Irving against Donic. Thompson outside. Nice ball movement by Dallas. Clock at six. Pass to Irving. The three is up. Here’s Gafford. And there’s two. Work on the glass. Paying off that time. Gaffford’s got six. Second chance points are always painful. Have to make the effort to box out. Hey, guys standing around spectating. I mean, you got to get in there and get tough. Donic outside and stolen by Irving. Here’s Gaffford and he was fouled while in the act of shooting. So, he’ll take two free throws. It’s on LeBron James. Exactly. The defense determined not to allow the easy layup right there. They’ll settle for making him burn the free throws. This is his second trip to the line in the game. [Applause] [Applause] Then he drops a first. [Applause] [Applause] That one misses. Lakers trail by five. Reeves with the ball. Checked by Washington down low. Here’s AI Mura and it’s slammed in by AI Mura. His big time on the rim puts a sweet cherry on top. VA, it’s a close game and those displays of explosiveness can jumpst start a team and can put the other team on its heels. We’ll see how it plays out. He gets it where he wants it and takes it up strong. And here’s Donic from the arc. No luck on that one. And the first half comes to a conclusion in a game that’s been very close so far. Got the ball here for the Los Angeles Lakers. It’s a five-point game. LeBron and Hachimura in at the forward slots. Luca and Reeves are the one of the two. And it’s Aiden in at the pivot spot, manning the middle. That’s the group for JJ Reick getting going here in the second half. And it’s slammed in by Aimuran. You know, he may have a scorer’s mindset, but Reeves makes plays for others, too. Dallas leading by three. Pass to Gaffford. Outside Irving. Here’s Flag. [Applause] Good work there as it goes. Flag’s got eight points. And the handles won’t fly off the scatter report, but Flag was able to use them to get free. Well, Grant, in 2024, you added Cooper Flag to the USA select team before he even played a game in college. You know, BA, he maybe looked really good, too. You know, he performed extremely well against the men’s national team. And at just the age of 17, he already looked like one of the better players on the court that day. Here’s Flag after the Lakers picking up a basket just moments ago. Davis from long range. Donic grabs the miss. Lakers trail by three with a tie and the rebound goes to Dallas. Gafford’s got six rebounds here tonight. Pass to Davis and good coming on the assist by Irving. Irving’s got three assists now in this one. The Lakers have got two of three from the floor in this third quarter. A chance here to catch up with Ally from the sideline. Well, the Lakers are always thinking title. Coach JJ Reick said, “Everything I’ve ever done in this sport has been crystallized into how can I win a championship. I got close as a college player and as an NBA player. My hope and goal is to bring the Lakers their 18th NBA championship as head coach.” Guys, eyes on the prize. Okay, Ally, good stuff. Soft touch off the glass. Now it’s a seven-point Dallas lead. Well, you simply can’t guard that. Irving’s just too nimble. Easily gets himself free of the defender. Pass to Reeves for three. James. The rebound by Klay Thompson. The Mavericks have gotten three or four shots to fall so far in the third. Takes a three and Aiden pulls it down. Payton’s got rebound number 10 tonight with that last one. Boy, they’d love if anyone could get a bucket. Yeah, their offense has been grinding to a halt. Reeves keeping the defense honest there, knocking down that corner three. That’s the flag. [Applause] Davis probing. [Applause] And it’s Davis finishing things off inside. In the NBA, you just can’t let guys get to the rim. Stolen by Gford. Now here’s Irving. It’s stolen by Donic. Pass to James. Oh, and the jam by James. Man, I like seeing LeBron throw it down, especially when he decides to do it with a little flavor. Now Irving 13 points in the game. Here’s Flag. Outside Davis. Gaffford with a screen on Aimura. Davis pass to Gaffford and the dunk by Gaffford. Nice one-handed jam. The NBA. Hey, little exclamation point. Hey, they’ve got a nice comfortable lead here, fellas. Might as well keep it simple. do it a plain simple one-hander just like pound cake. Now here’s Thompson. Hasn’t gotten one to fall yet. Thompson a screen on eight. Here’s Davis and he got the whistle on the way up. So he’ll be headed to the line for a pair. They’re very few that can handle and battle with Davis inside. I mean, he’s got really tremendous strength and agility and a nice touch. Taking two shots, shooting two. [Applause] That free throw good from Davis. [Applause] [Applause] Both free throws good from Davis. [Applause] And so it’s Donic with it. He brings it up for Los Angeles. Trailing by eight. Hayden finds James off target with the three. The Mavericks have gotten five of seven attempts in the third quarter. Pass the flag. Here’s Davis. Is covered by Aiden. [Applause] Davis down low. He’s against Aiden. The shot that time not on target. Here’s James and slam dunk by James. Boy, there’s nothing quite like LeBron on the fast break. That combination of size, strength, and speed makes him electric. Now, here’s Irving. He’s got 13. Driving to the basket up and over Donic. Donic pulls down the board. Donic has got his fourth rebound in this one. Burl from long range gets rebounded by Dallas. They’ve led by as many as 11. Outside Irving. on the wing. Davis. He’s covered by Reeves. Six to shoot. Davis hits. Davis has got eight points here in the quarter. He’s pouring it on at a nice clip. And the rest of the team is stepping up as well. Donic outside. [Applause] Back to James. Off target from three-point range. The Mavericks lead by eight. [Applause] Irving with it. Back to Davis. Gets rebounded by Los Angeles. Donic has got rebound number five here tonight. Catherford against Hayden. Here’s Aimura and it’s Flag with a rebound. Flag’s got rebound number seven tonight. Davis the pass to Irving. Here’s Flag. Fires the three. Basket is good. Nice setup from Irving. Irving’s got four assists in the game. Yeah, and this young kid Flag has so much confidence in his scoring ability and that makes him dangerous off the catch. Now here is James. He’s got 12. Reeves against Thompson. Aimura outside. Lets the three fly. Good. And that makes him six for nine. A quality game for him so far. It’s turned into a showdown here. Dueling from distance. Looks to me like there could be something personal taking place here. Good decision making. Scopes the situation. puts the pass right on the mark. Now here’s Aiden. Pass to Donic. [Applause] Luca with a good look inside. Gets it inside and goes to work. That’s how it’s done. The Mavericks lead by eight. Here’s Flag. Right side. Davis. [Applause] Clock at four. Aimuro with a rebound. The Lakers have gotten seven of 15 shots to hit in this second half. Just James on the wing. 12 points for him. Aiden no good. Dallas is gone. Only one of three from deep here in the third. it. So, it’s Los Angeles now. It’s a 10-point game. Pass to Arabia. Back to Smart. [Applause] Just four to shoot. Vanderbilt. The pass to Reeves. And once again, off the mark by Los Angeles. [Applause] out left to the wing [Applause] to the left side wing. Washington against Vanderbilt. Dallas needs to get off a shot. He shoots. Christiey’s shot is off. Well, I like the defense there. Right up in his grill. Didn’t give him a chance. Pass to Smart. [Applause] Reeves against Christie. Outside Reeves kicks it out to Smart Outside. Vanderbilt pulls it. Mavericks with a rebound outside. Russell [Music] now. Lively. He’s checked by Cleba. Back to Russell. Nice dish and the layup goes down. And now it’s a 12-point Dallas lead inside. Russell definitely has the touch. Just pops it in nicely. Smart outside pass to Cleba. Outside Reeves and it’s all from three-point range. Well, he won’t miss many of those. Not when he gets a good look like that. 43. Marshall can’t hit. Well, Los Angeles shooting 37% since the beginning of the third quarter. Clea finds Reeves. Vanderbilt a screen on Christine Labia outside. Pass to Reeves to win the jump. Sinks it from distance. Reeves has got six points in the quarter. Shooting from a rock solid pace that gives Austin just the added range he was looking for. [Applause] Russell deciding where to go with it. Come on. Come on. Come on. [Applause] And it’s good. With time running down on the shot clock. Russell’s got seven. And as we end the third quarter, a double-digit deficit will make it tough to come back. Dallas on top up 11. We’ll take a quick break and then get you back to the action. [Applause] [Applause] And now we have a moment to reveal our State Farm assist of the game. You know, I’m kind of stoked that this was the choice because I love this pass. A remarkable find. He put his court vision on full display. Yeah. And with the accuracy to go along with that vision. I mean, he put the ball in the absolute perfect spot. That’s how you orchestrate it. And we reach the fourth quarter in a game that may already be out of hand. On the court right now for the Mavericks, Davis Lively, the lengthy combo inside. Max Christie is out there with D’Angelo Russell. And it’s Washington in it. Small forward. Now here’s Russell. Lively with a screen on Smart. Russell from outside and Reeves pulls it down. Lakers trail by 11. Loravia outside. Here he goes back to Reeves. And the rebound goes to Dallas. Lively’s got his seventh rebound of the game of that last one. Pass to Davis. Outside for Russell. Takes the three. Rebound by the Lakers. Outside. Reeves. Smart against Russell. [Applause] Got a piece of it. Well, I tell you what, his teammates love seeing this. So do I. I mean, when Russell is able to block a shot, that’s a big bonus. It’s stolen by Smart. He’s got a clear path. Stolen by Davis. Pass to Russell. Washington outside Davis. And Davis slams it home. Good positioning that time from AD working the pick and roll beautifully. And so JJ Reic calls for the timeout. He’s decided it’s time to clarify the situation, leaving little room for error. He told them, “We’re settling, guys. Come on. We’re not being patient out there. We’re not working the ball around. That has to change right now.” Thanks for that, Ally. Last quarter of play about two minutes in now. Outside Reeves Vanderbilt a screen on Christy. Pass to Smart off target from outside. Dallas leading by 13. Outside Russell on the wing. Davis. [Music] Down to five on the shot clock. Pulls it from 20. Not enough on that one as it misses for Los Angeles. They’ve gone 0 for three in this fourth. Not good. Pass to Reeves. And here is Vanderbilt. Reeves with a screen on Davis. Vanderbilt. The pass to Smart. Nice ball movement by Los Angeles. The Lakers with another miss. And here’s Davis. He’ll bring it up for the Mavs. This is the most they’ve led. 13 points. [Music] Rebound. The Lakers. Morabi has got four rebounds now. To the middle. Here’s Clea. Oh, it’s blocked by Washington. Even though he’s not the tallest power forward, Washington does have good bounce and a long reach. Plays bigger than he is. And it’s out of bounds to the Mavericks as Dallas retains possession. And so Jason Kidd calls for the timeout. He wants to make sure everyone for Smart. Dallas also making some changes. Thompson, he’s checked in for Christy. And Kyrie Irving is subbed in for Russell. [Applause] We played just over three and a half minutes now in the fourth quarter. Here’s Vincent. [Applause] Pass to Donic to win the drought and he’s going to the line for two. The official saw contact while he was going up. First personal foul. Look at Luca playing hard, which is always the way he goes. Hits a foul, but keeps pushing and takes his shot. Playing through contact. Taking two shots. That’s good from Donic. Luca Donuch is a superstar in this league and he continues to build on what is going to be some kind of resume when it’s all said and done. Has every tool that you need to have to be an MVP one day. And Los Angeles making a change here. Hayes has checked in. [Applause] Donic hits them both. Here’s Irving outside. Davis. Cranked it in off the glass. Fascinating. Davis has got four points now in the quarter and just not letting up at all. I mean, you have to love this approach. You want to get the ball to the guys who make plays. If it’s working, keep working it. That’s what I say. Keep the pressure on. Now, here’s Donic. [Applause] Klay Thompson pulls down the board. Here’s Irving. Pass to Washington. Donic with it. Now Thompson defending now. Vanderbilt. That one falls. Great setup by Donic as well. Donic has got five assists in the game. They found strong offensive footing in the open court. Yeah. And for them to reduce the lead, they should keep the pace brisk. I mean, that’s how they generated the highest quality shot. And Davis slams it home. Operating the pick and roll like a surgeon. What a sequence by Kyrie. Lakers trail by 13. Donic. Passes to Hayes. [Applause] And here’s Vincent. He’s guarded by Irving. Pass to Vanderbilt. [Applause] Connect up top. Six on the shot clock. Here’s Donic. Rebound. Anthony Davis. Davis has got double-digit rebounds now in the game. Now here’s Irving. He’s covered by Vincent Lively with a screen on Hayes. Now Thompson, the three on target from range. Thompson’s gotten himself going with a triple. His first basket of the game. Thompson against Dunic. from downtown and the rebound goes to Dallas. Davis has got 11 rebounds in the game. Pass to Irving. Washington outside and Davis gets double teamed. Now here’s Irving. Lets it go from deep. It’s Hayes with the rebound. not himself in range right now, but the only way out of this funk is to keep trying. Thompson in the post. He’s covered by connect. Lively passes to Davis. And here’s Thompson for three. They get the rebound from deep and he stays with it over Hayes. Out to Thompson. Washington outside. Some nice ball movement by Dallas. Pass to Irving. Three-pointer. Pure from three-point range. And the Mavericks lead by 19. That’s the decisiveness we talk about with Irving. He’s quick and right at it. Here’s Donic. Buries it down low. Donic has got four points now in the quarter. And for Dallas, they’re shooting only 36% since the fourth quarter started. Pass to Davis to the paint and a slam dunk by Lively. He knew exactly where his man was going to be. Outstanding lead pass. And so it’s Donic with it. He brings it up for the Los Angeles Lakers. Trailing by 19. Outside Vanderbilt. Pass to Vincent. Shot clock at six. [Music] Rejected by Lively. Nice D by Lively there. He can block shots both at the rim and out away from the basket. Now here’s Irving. [Music] Shot from 16. And again, it’s Dallas just continuing to pile it on. refusing to let up. Yeah. And you know that is some shaky and shoddy defensive work. They got to tighten it up. Now here’s Vincent. [Applause] Pass to Donic. There’s the three. Lively grabs a miss. Lively’s got rebound number 12 now. Tenacity on the glass. Irving no good. Yeah. And the defense has really got to tighten up on him. I mean, he’s just too dangerous from the three-point line. Stolen by Davis looking to end this cold spell fell and the slam dunk on the court and it’s not close. Wow. Did this game really turn out to be his show. A commanding performance like that makes for a sweet victory, especially on the road. Los Angeles has gone 0 for three here in the fourth. Reeves finds James. No one near him and he hits the jump shot. 14 points for LeBron James. You know, really impossible to know what James is thinking in advance. I mean, especially in these sets on the wing, Thompson. [Applause] Here’s Flag. Pass to Davis. [Applause] Puts up a deep three. It’s rebounded by Los Angeles. James has got rebound number five here tonight. Aimura and the rebound goes to the Mavericks. [Music] Now Irving. Here’s Davis. Aimura covering. Gafford with a screen on Aimura. Lets it go from 14. Another shot and finished off by Gafford as he lays it in. Great game for him. Double double now. They need something good to happen here. Yeah, they’ve gone way too long without a score. James passes to Donic. Out to James. Payeyton with a screen. There’s the triple. Gafford grabs the miss. The Mavericks lead by 23. And let’s face it, this one was never really in question. They came out with purpose and just overwhelmed the opposition. A great win for the Mavericks and everything seemed to go their way today. They were firing on all cylinders, Grant. Yeah, BA. This was the kind of performance you relish as a player. Just a very impressive win. And when you look at the game, the one thing that helped fuel this team to victory was the efficiency for Anthony Davis. And his activity level on defense, self-evident. racking up steals, deflections. I mean, he was a handful tonight. Here’s Irving. Lays it up and banks it in. They really came in with the right mindset today. I can guarantee you their flight home will be filled with some smiles. Yep. To have a stress-free win on the road, very satisfying. The fans are already headed for the exit. That shot wide open. Really doesn’t matter what position LeBron is playing. The point, the four, or the five. James changes games with his passing ability. Now here’s Irving. [Applause] Has the flag back to Irving. Some nice ball movement by Dallas on the wing. Davis Aimura covering 14 ft away. [Applause] And so Dallas takes this one by a big margin. A statement road victory. So impressive statement indeed. Ba, it was in enemy territory, but they controlled the game and took the crowd completely out of it. That’s how you win on the road. And now let’s swing it over to Alli Leforce who is now with our player of the game. Anthony, your playmaking stood
