It’s always fun to watch guys be unselfish with the ball and look to make each other better. Now a look at Dallas’s starting lineup. They’ve got Anthony Davis. Thompson is out there with D’Angelo Russell. Then there’s Daniel Gaff and Dantic used to creating kind of a luxury for him to simply catch and shoot outside. Russell Davis in the corner. Dallas moving it around. drills the three-pointer and an I for an I. Both teams working to stretch the floor. This is today’s NBA. Hey, we see this kind of exchange more often than not. Now here’s Donic. Reeves finds Hatchim. And here’s James outside and he’s good on the three ball. Nice little duel here. LeBron getting the three points back for his team. about a minute played so far here in the first pass to Gford. The rebound by the Lakers. A moment now to hear from our sideline reporter, Hall of Famer David Aldridge. David, hey Kevin. Briefly spoke with JJ Reick. Now when asked about the game plan on Anthony Davis, coach said, “We have to do our best to keep him out of the paint.” Now, that’s where he’s most effective. If he beats us with his jump shot, well, we can live with that. Interior defense will be put to the test, guys. Thank you, David. An active competitor, Russell won’t go down without a fight, especially around the rim. Just over a minute and a half played here in this one. Reeves outside. Donic against Russell. Dunic right side rebounded by Gaffford. That’s just the bucket like you expect him to make. It’s tough when you miss them. Davis good and it’s Russell picking up the assist. Look, I’m telling you, even in the mid-range, Davis is deadly. He’s got the perfect mechanics and it just works at any distance. LA has gone two or three from deep so far in this game. Arguably one of the best bigs of his generation, Anthony Davis. I know you admire his game. Well, he takes over the game on both ends of the floor. You would look at a Tim Duncan, a Kevin Garnett, a guy that can beat you with five block or a guy that can dominate the post and score 25 a night in the dime going to expanding the passing part of his game. If you’re just tuning in, we played about two and a half minutes here in the first. Fantastic Gaffford. Russell kicks to Thompson. Takes a three. Rebounded by DeAndre. The Lakers in the lead. Here’s Donic and all around the end that time before dropping in. Donic has got seven points. And so it’s Davis. He’ll bring the ball up for the Dallas Mavericks. And we’ve got a timeout called by Jason Kidd. He wants to regroup and go over the strategy. Time right now. Let me hear you. Now about 3 minutes gone in the first quarter. Thompson outside. He’s covered by Hatchima. Six on the shot clock and stolen by LeBron. And Davis sends it back. It’s the length of Davis that makes it so hard to shoot over top of it. And we got to take a second look to admire that outstanding block. And an early swat like that can really set the tone. Now the shooters will be feeling his presence on defense. Dallas, it’s a three-point game to the middle. Here’s Donic. That doesn’t go either for Donic. Dallas has gone one and two from long range in the first quarter. And Thompson kicks to Russell. takes the three. It’s good from long range. Using outstanding floor awareness there. Russell’s ability to pick apart the defense and find the open man. Now here’s Donic. He’s got seven pass to Hatchim. Now here’s LeBron’s right side. Down to five on the shot clock. It’s good. He makes his first shot of the game, guys. That’s just really unstoppable. He poses a ton of matchup problems for whomever he’s facing. And so here is Dallas trailing by two. Thompson outside. Russell a screen on Reed. Thompson misses. The Lakers have gone five of nine from the field here in the first. The pass to Donic. Three-pointer. Mavericks with the rebound. And you could tell he thought that triple was going to fall. Reeves against Thompson. Oh, he’s going up for the Lu pier. It’s rebounded by Donic. And that was lining up to be a huge alley, but they just couldn’t quite connect. Just go to show how tight your timing needs to be on this kind of play. Dallas again missing. Los Angeles has gone two of four from beyond the arc to start the game. Here’s LeBron. Lays it up and in off the pretty assist. LeBron’s got five points so far. Yeah, just too much big boy basketball by LeBron James. Just boding defenders inside. And we’ve got a timeout called by Jason Kidd. He wants to talk to his guys. Every time out, a chance to review the lineups, matchups, or call a play. I’m sure all of the above is in order. And you can never be too content. Naji Marshall, he’s checked in for Klay Thompson. Outside Russell outside Davis. Some nice passing here by Dallas. Gafford sets the pick for Marshall. Sinks the triple. Pick works well there. Not much resistance from the deep. Yeah, that just comes down to a lack of effort. The defender has to do a better job fighting through the screen. Now here’s Aton. Still scoreless. Pass to Donic. Crops in the layup for two. Creating space. Donic will move defenders around. Here’s Russell. Some solid defense from Eightton. Nothing seems to be going his way this quarter. Yeah, straight up, guys. Like, he’s ice cold. Like freezing. What’s colder than cold, but you don’t have to shoot it, my guy. It’s okay to pass the ball. There it is, guys. One of those effort plays that makes a big difference in the game. and GA. It is definitely making a difference so far today. Offensive rebounding is about hustle and determination. Huge put back making a statement there. Here’s Davis drilled from 11 ft out. Davis has got his second basket of the night. With a 7 foot6 wingspan, Anthony Davis can get that jumper off against anyone. And you can never really count out these Los Angeles Lakers, Greg, can you? No, I I I really don’t think you can. They they battle out of the playin tournament. They overcome obstacles and they have tremendous willpower. Now here is Russell. Five points in the game. Gafford inside. Covered by LeBron. Four on the clock. Three. Marshall. Reeves with the rebound. Lakers lead by three. Here’s Hatchima. Pass to Reeds. Back to Hatchima. Shot clock at six. The Lakers need to get a shot off here. Here’s Donic. That one no good. Nice D from Russell. And here is Marshall. Pass to Davis. Puts it up. And it’s good off the back of the rim and in. And now just a one-point Laker lead. Naji Marshall. We’ve got 155 left here in the first quarter and JJ Reick is called timeout. He’s going to have a discussion here on the sideline. Well, we know GA the Mavs are so adept at hunting the matchups they want. They’re patient and methodical. They they never look like they’re in a rush, right? Even when you send a double or trap the ball, the Mavs stay calm and know where to go. It’s what makes slowing down their pick and roll so difficult. Catching up on the changes for Los Angeles. Jackson A’s, he’s checked in for DeAndre Aton. James comes in for Ruie Himeura. Gabe Vincent, he’s checked in for Austin Reeves. And Smart subbed in for Luca Dona. And the dunk by James. Wow, look at how quick he flashes to the rim there for the finish. 137 left in the first quarter. Average trail by three. Marshall with it to the inside. Thompson. Shots good. Marshall making the play. You’re not going to speed him up. Even when you get aggressive guarding Thompson, he stays in control. He’s just so tough to cover. Los Angeles has gone two of four from beyond the arc to start the game. LeBron dishes to James inside. Deflects the pass and they’re running and that’ll be two free throws coming up. Officials on the call with the foul. It’s on Bronny James. Yeah, the defender all over it. Let’s quickly check out the scoring breakdown here for Los Angeles. I’ve really been impressed with how aggressive they’ve been inside, looking to capitalize from the paint whenever they can. And another thing coach will be thrilled with the assist numbers spreading the wealth and creating some offensive opportunities. And that one misses and Los Angeles with some changes. Loravas checked in and Luca Donuch subbed in for Gabe Vincent. The Mavericks also with a sub. Christie, he’s checked in for Marshall. That one drops. He ties it up. Now, here’s Smart. And while we’ve got a moment, let’s send it over to our terrific reporter, David Aldrich. David, Kevin, thanks. The Mavericks at last season’s trade deadline added length by acquiring Daniel Gaffford and PJ Washington. Coach Jason Kid says they help on both ends. Gafford has the ability to roll. He has great hands. PJ can put the ball on the floor and guard one through five. And then defensively they both great physicality. Kevin David, there is an argument to be made. That was one of the best trades at midseason this league has seen in a very long time. Marshall, he’s checked in for the Mavericks. One shot. And that one misses. Greg, you think about oversized point guards and the gold standard has always been Magic Johnson. Now you look at Luca Donic and he’s certainly big for that position. Definitely some positive similarities, right? But the big difference is one of those guys has five rings and that’s not a knock on Donic. This is a team sport. But Magic’s ability to affect winning was right there with another MJ, Michael Jordan. Here’s Donic after the made shot from Klay Thompson. James, that’s a two-pointer. And again, no good by the Lakers. Well, they’ll be happy with that look even though it didn’t fall. Tough to watch those miss. I’m sure they’ll convert the next chance. Here’s Lorabia. He’s covered by Washington. James gets the bucket. Punch, counter punch. Impressive offensive production early on. You have to think at this point the winner will be the one to settle in on defense. Here’s Christie. And he was able to They were intent on just pounding the ball down low. And let me tell you, when you establish a physical edge, it gives you a mental edge, too. And here’s Marshall bring it up for Dallas trailing by two. So with Davis sitting on the bench, here’s the five for Jason Kid right now. Washington and Lively hold down the post for him. Christy is out there with Klay Thompson and it’s Marshall in it. The small forward and so it’s the Lakers with it after the miss three from Klay Thompson. Stolen by Lively and here we go with Thompson running it up the court. Another shot and it’s Labradia with the rebound. The Lakers shooting so far very efficient all around about 55% and Hayes throws it down. Just a super unselfish guy. Donic is all for getting his guys going. Enjoys setting the table. Marshall passes to Christie. Washington with the screen arm. Smart. Christie again. The miss by the Mavericks. I’m shocked that didn’t turn into three points. I mean, he makes you pay on those nearly every time. James controls the rebound and puts it back up and in. James has got the lead up to six now for Los Angeles. That is really good work there on the offensive glass. Pass to Christie Thompson outside up top Washington. No scoring in this one and it goes down two points. Yeah, terrific play right there. Great strength to finish through the contact. First trip to the free throw line for him tonight. First team foul at the line for the Mavericks. DJ one shot. One shot. That free throw good from Washington and something you see with the Lakers. They really trust their role players, don’t they, Richard? Yeah, LeBron does a great job of empowering his group. That’s why he’s top five in the league all time in assists. If you earn his trust, he will give you a ton of space to work. The Lakers know that they can only go as far as their great group of role players. Now Washington after Luca Donic’s three-pointer that didn’t go. Chalk up two there. Washington’s got five points so far. Lakers have gone two of four shooting the ball here in the second to the paint. Here’s Donic. Good D by Thompson. But Mavericks trailing down low. Smart with the steel. Aravia passes to Smart. James has a two-pointer. They get the rebound. Donic going to work. There’s no end to the ways Donic can score. And here in the second quarter of action with a hair under two and a half minutes played so far. And Jason Kid has called timeout. He wants to check in with his team and regroup. When it comes to the league’s most physical defenders, Richard, look no further than Marcus Smart. Yeah, he’s someone that has no problem sacrificing his body, whether that’s taking charges or diving after loose balls. He is relentless. Deandre Eaton’s check in for the Lakers. Austin Reeves comes in for Marcus Smart. Exom, he’s checked in for Dallas. Christy with the screen on James with the drive. Two free throws coming up and they call the shooting foul. Richard, you’ve talked a lot about how underrated longevity has been as a factor in measuring some of the all-time great players. Well, when you think about Jordan, LeBron, Kareem, the only way to achieve greatness in the statistical category is to have longevity. So, obviously greatness and longevity coincide. The first one falls. And he can’t hit the second. Lakers have gone three of seven shooting the ball here in the second quarter. Oh, Aidton in position. Takes the alley pass and dunks it down. I like how Aiden makes himself a big target on these alleyoops. Just a quality finish here in the second quarter. About 3 minutes played. And here is Washington. He has five. Six to shoot. Pass to Marshall. Lets it go with a three. Buries the long range jumper. Marshall’s got seven points in the game. And what kind of defense was that? You can’t give up wide open threes like that. What are you doing? Aton inside. Washington’s on him. No one near Reeves as he lets it go. Hits it from three-point range. Reeves has got his second bucket of the game to go. And just over three and a half minutes played here in the second quarter. Now Marshall, he has seven. That shot off. Good D by James. Pass to Hayes. Here’s Donic. Some nice passing here by Los Angeles. From deep James and another three for the Lakers. Nice ball movement there. That’s how you break down the defense. Average trail by seven. Here’s Washington. Pass to Marshall. Pocket six. Back to Washington. Here’s Christie. The Lakers with the rebound. Eightton’s got six rebounds in the game. Donic with it. Dayton with it. Reeves the pass to Donic. And they double up. Donic. Stolen by Washington. Here’s Christie. The shots good. Marshall making the play. Marshall’s got three assists tonight. Great teamwork punctuated by a strong finish. Yeah, that’s nice execution. running with purpose and creating an easy scoring opportunity off the break. Now here’s Donic. He’s got 13. Pass to Reeds. Out to Donic. It’s rebounded by Dallas. Here’s Washington and it’s Aton with the rebound. Eightton’s got seven rebounds in the game. Here’s Reeves. Now here’s Aton in the hoop for his third make from the field. He’s three for four thus far in the contest. That is a strong move by Eightton. He is merciless in there. Pass to Marshall. Five to shoot. Fires the three. That’s good for his third bucket. Now three for six from the field. Pick works well there. Not much resistance from the deep. Yeah, that just comes down to a lack of effort. The defender has to do a better job fighting through the screen. And JJ Reick is called timeout. He wants to make some adjustments to the game plan clearly. All right, here comes your Laker. And the Lakers with some changes. LeBron’s checked in for Jackson Hayes. Hatchima comes in for James and Marcus Smart is subbed in for Donic. Lakers leading by four. Now Reeds, he’s got five. Pass to LeBron. fires the three. LeBron James making it look easy from deep. When you’re guarding LeBron, you have to give him something. So, the King, well, he’ll take a three-point basket. Stolen by Reeves. You’re smart. And he drives in. That’s a double whammy, guys. That’s right. A great defensive play. Then the emphatic stuff. Once he poked it away, you knew what was on his mind. Now Russell guarded by Smart. Russell against Smart. Davis, the pass to Gaff. Six on the shot clock. Davis setting the pick for Gford and Russell gets it to go. Good form on the jump shot. Russell’s ability to stretch the floor makes him even more valuable. outside James. Back to Smart. Good. And the assist goes to LeBron. Smart’s got his second basket. I mean, the number of points they’ve scored in the paint already here is eyeoping. And it’s Thompson with the ball. He’ll bring it up for Dallas. Eight-point game. Outside Davis. Pass to Russell Thompson for the triple and it’s Aton with the rebound. Payton’s got rebound number eight now on the night. Outside Smart offensive rebound off target there. That would have pushed the lead to double digits. He’s covered by Hi Murray and he gets the whistle. Two free throws coming up. Wow. Wow. He got whacked on that one. Shouldn’t be much debate there for they have made three of five free throw attempts. At the line for Mavericks flag and he can’t get the first one. He hits the second from the line. Here’s James. Eight points for him. Pass to Aton. Whistle blows. Basket is good. So, a chance here for a three-point play. He just pushed through eight and flexing for that and one. And this is his first trip to the line tonight. First team at the line for Los Angeles. DeAndre shooting. What’s up, Free throw drops for Eightton. And I love the footwork Eightton possesses. It’s what makes him so dangerous close to the rim. Time now to turn to our sideline reporter David Aldridge. David Kevin, thank you very much. Athlete Davis broke his defense down for me. He said, “I can block shots, switch on to anybody, guard the pick and roll. I can guard the post. I can guard the pin down.” So that’s my ability. My ability defensively is to do everything, Kevin. And he does everything, David. Thank you so much. Now, here’s Aton. And here’s LeBron outside. Reeves outside. Good on the triple. Reeves has got the lead up to 13 now for Los Angeles. And with the lead, I like the strategy here. Continue to get the ball to guys who can do something with it. This is when good players really get after it. He can sense that they’re reeling and he’s going to put his foot on the pedal. Now the Mavericks with possession here after Los Angeles picked up three with their last shot. Davis, the pass to Thompson. Launches it and that one falls coming off of Davis’s speed. Thompson’s got seven points. The moment that last three went in, Thompson must have been thinking, “Get me the ball. I’ll answer it with a three.” LeBron with a screen on Thompson. Stolen away. Pass to Davis and he uses the glass on the layup. Davis has got it back down to within single digits for the Mans. Look, you always want to see your big man run the floor. There is no questioning Davis’s effort on these plays. Outside Smart. 23 seconds left in the first half of basketball. Gaffford with the steel. Thompson outside. Back to Russell. puts up a deep three. The shot comes out and so it’s Los Angeles holding up and we’ve got third quarter of basketball for you. Two quarters in the books. You have to like what you’re seeing from Luca Donuch. Man, he’s been running wild on him through that first half. Absolute dynamite on offense. If they don’t change their approach in the second half, let’s just say his success will continue. Andre Eaton out there with LeBron James. Then it’s Austin Reed. Then it’s Ruy Hatchima. And it’s Donic in at the one spot. That’s who’s in the game for the Lakers. Great instincts from him to get a hand on that pass and tip it out. Yeah, I think he was hoping to maybe even get the steal. But I agree, he still got a good outcome. That one’s in there. The Lakers lead is cut down to six. And the bucket from Russell. Cognizant of the entire court. Russell aware of where the defenders are and really does a great job creating opportunities. And here’s James outside. They get it again. Donic off with the layup. Dallas has gone seven to 15 from three-point range tonight. They’re not afraid of that shot. Throws down the alleyoop slam. And you can see him give a little nod and then just burst to the rim for the alleyoop slam. A pair of teammates, Greg, with a terrific feel for each other. Lakers leading by four. And you look at the career of D’Angelo Russell. I mean, he’s played for several teams, including the Lakers twice. Teams keep trading for DLO for his offense. He can be electric. There is a reason why he’s been named an all-star in his career. And here in the second half of play, we’re just over a minute in. Oh, in position up high to stuff the alleyoop and he’s now got the double double. 11 points and 11 rebounds. Oh, and the lead gets bigger on a ridiculous offensive sequence. That dunk alone would have been spectacular. Never mind it coming at the end of an alleyoop. And it’s Russell at the elbow. Back to Thompson. Just five on the clock from past the ark. It’s hauled in by LeBron. And here’s James. He’ll bring it up for the Lakers. Pass to Hatchim. Two minutes into the second half of play now. The three for Donic. And Donic with the triple. And it doesn’t take much for Donic to get hot. And and once that happens, boy, he is almost unguardable. And we’ve got a timeout called by Jason Kid. He’s ready to talk things through with the team. Your word. Here’s Thompson. Seven points in the game. Reeves outside pass to LeBron. Aiden at the elbow now. Donic. Five on the clock over Russell and the Lakers take on two more. Oh, nice touch on Lucas mid-range there. The product of a lot of practice time and natural talent. Gafford with the ball. He’s covered by eight. Gafford kicks to Davis. Bucket Davis for three. And obviously his momentum from the last game has carried over here tonight. He’s just riding the wave of momentum right now. Getting to his spots and keeping things simple on the offensive side. LeBron James on the wing and he can’t answer back. The three-pointer offline. the put back. He hangs in there and cashes in on the second chance points. Uh-oh. Everything is going AD’s way. He is in that zone and scoring at a terrific pace. Reeves against Thompson. Pass to Hatchima. Trains it from beyond the arc. Hatchim’s got his first bucket of the game and he’s on the board for three. Little under two and a half minutes off the clock now here in the third. Davis against James and foul on the shot. So he’ll get a chance at the line. And Richard talking about Anthony Davis for a second here. When healthy still one of the best players in the NBA. Yeah, his health has always been a question mark for quite a while, Kevin. But make no mistake, when AD’s good to go, he’s one of the best players in the world. Shooting two. First one falls for him. And with Davis, you know what? You’re getting a nightly double double threat and a versatile defender. And he makes both free throws. Some big guys struggle at the line. Not him. He’s put in the work to defy that assumption. Anj passes to Hatchima. Jacks up a three. Can LeBron with the basket. The assist by Reeves. Reeves has got his sixth assist on the night. Average trail by 10. Outside Davis. Dallas no good that time either. Yeah, that’s a shame cuz I’m not sure the defense will let him get a shot that good again very soon. Reeves finds Himura in the corner. It’s James. James absorbing hits on the crowd. Making the D look helpless. James is just locked in once he gets this close. Dallas has gone one of three from downtown since halftime. Russell passes to Thompson. to the middle and stolen by Eaton. Now here is Hetimer. Defense right on him. No good on that one. The Mavericks have gone four of seven to get things started here in the second half to the inside. Stolen by Reeves. Here we go. James heading to the hoop. And that one clearly a foul. Gets the whistle and two shots coming up. And such a physical player inside. LeBron doesn’t fear contact on the way up. And what do you guys think so far about the offensive approach for the Lakers? Their offense has been a welloiled machine. They’re moving the ball around, playing for one another, and just piling up assist. And we’re also seeing a lot from them at the arc in this one. Tonight, it’s been all about that three ball for these guys. Free throw good. James R.J. last season. LeBron passed 40,000 career points. Uh, do you think we’ll ever see someone get even close to that number again? Probably not, Kevin. Not in my lifetime. You have to understand, you’re going to have to score 25 points a game for 20 plus seasons to even have a chance. LeBron, he’s one of one. The field LeBron has for the game, unreal. And whatever situation he finds himself in, he always seems to have an answer. Now here is Russell. 10 points for him. Here’s Davis. Basket is good. He’ll get a chance for one more at the line. Yeah, he earned that one. I mean, taking the hit and still able to get that one to go down. This is his second trip to the line in this one. Really can’t criticize the work he did at the line a year ago. 82% on the season. Find the lanes. Find the lanes. One shot. And that one falls for Anthony Davis. Lakers leading by 11. Here’s Reeds. He’s got eight. Here’s the screen from the arc. The Mavericks pull it in. Thompson’s got five rebounds tonight. Pass to Russell. Three-pointer. Rebounded by DeAndre. The Lakers have gotten six of their 12 shots to drop for him here in the second half so far. The shots good from LeBron. And this is the game plan for him. He’s a big part of their floor spacing. Yeah, you got to know where he is at all times, especially when he’s roaming around the perimeter ready to fire. Oh my goodness, the slam. And it is flushed down with a nice jam. Oh, forget about going for the long range bomb to cut into that lead. Just take it to the hoop, my friend. And how brilliant throwdown. Here’s Reeves. Pass to Donic and stolen by Russell. Thompson with it. He’s picked up by Donic. Thompson passes to Russell. Back to Thompson. Now here’s Davis. Just five to shoot. The lead now cut to single digits. He’s got 12. Something we don’t always talk about with Davis because he’s so talented is his elite understanding of the game, his basketball IQ. And here’s Eightton. He’ll bring it up for the Lakers. They’ve led by as many as 14 points. James wide open. Rebounded by Gaffford. Gafford’s got five rebounds tonight. And Thompson kicks to Russell. Another three for Dallas. The adjustments they’ve made offensively. They’re putting guys in a position now to succeed. But it took them a little while to get there just goes to show as long as you persevere, you’ll figure your way out. The Lakers with the ball after D’Angelo Russell hitting the three. James wide open. They can’t stop the run with that one. Oh, he really wanted that triple even though he missed. I really like the competitiveness I’m seeing. Oh, Aton in position and Aton throws it down. Oh, and the lead gets bigger on a ridiculous offensive sequence. That dunk alone would have been spectacular. Never mind it coming at the end of an alleyoop. Mavericks trail by eight. Outside Russell. James against Davis. Pass to Russell. Shot clock at five. There’s the triple. And that one falls coming off of Davis’s feed. Davis has got three assists tonight. And all of a sudden, that three puts them in striking distance, guys. He’s had that shot working all night. And I bet he’s thinking that he could close the gap completely if he can keep those threes coming. Reeves against Thompson. The three for Donic. There’s the answer from Donic. And there’s no shortage of fight in Donic. He’s a counter puncher. Hit him with a three and he is coming right back at you. Average trail by eight. It’s Davis with the drive and it goes for the eighth time in 10 tries. I I love the spirit he’s shown tonight, particularly on the offensive end. He’s going to keep putting up shots regardless of the score. That’s the kind of player he is. Now here’s Donic. He’s got 21. What determination from Donic pushing his shot through despite some stiff defense to draw the foul. Lakers shooting their fifth and six free throws of the game. And at the line last season about 78% as a team, pretty solid numbers. and he knocks down the first one. Eyepopping talent from Don. We don’t see many players with his size and skill set. Hazes checked in for Los Angeles. Smart comes in for Austin Reeves. both good from the line that time. Maverick trail by eight. Christy kicks to Exum. Pass to Marshall. Gets up a three. Another three for Dallas. Pick works well there. Not much resistance from the D. Yeah, that just comes down to a lack of effort. The defender has to do a better job fighting through the screen. Now here’s Higgins outside. James misses the three. Christy against Smart. Here’s Lively. And finished off by Lively. And that’s how you lead a team, literally. Lakers leading by three. Donic outside. Laid in with a nice touch off the glass. Donic has got 25 points in the game. That’s the kind of aggressive and assertive play they need as we get closer and closer to crunch time. And for the Mavericks, their shooting has been beyond great up until now. How about 57% from the field overall. Now, here’s Marshall. He’s got 13 and stolen by James. 5 seconds separating the shot and game clocks. Outside Smart Good and the assist goes to LeBron. James has got six assists in the game. Just such a quick release there by Marcus Smart. You love to see that just catch, touch, and release. And here is Marshall. One second left. Come on everyone. And this is it. Glad to have you along for this fourth and final quarter. So with Davis sitting on the bench, here’s the five for Jason Kid right now. Washington and Lively hold down the post for him. Exum is out there with Christie and it’s Marshall in at the three. Here’s Exum and finished off by Exom. Attacking in transition, the most consistent way to generate easy looks. Yeah, when you hustle on the break like he does, good things tend to happen. Outside Smart Honix outside over Axom and he gets it to go off the back of the rim. Donic has got 27 and he’s such a polished shooter. You can’t give Donic these kinds of opportunities or he’s going to burn you. Wively finds Washington. Pass to Marshall. Shot clock at six. I a screen on James. Kept alive. Exum with a wideopen look. Connects from three-point range. Exom’s got five points in the quarter. The defenders need to recognize the importance of staying on him as we get into crutch time. Donic outside. Smart puts the pick in for Donic trying to answer back but that three is off the mark. Average trail by five. Washington kicks to Exom. Just over a minute and a half play here in the fourth to the paint. Got a piece of it. Hayes with the steel. As break the Lakers. Here’s Larabia and foul on the shot. He’ll shoot two at the free throw line. Clearly a foul. Foul. First team foul at the line for Los Angeles. Two shots. First free throw is good and the Lakers making a change here. Reeves is checked in. He’s perfect from the line this time. And so it’s Exom with it. They’ll bring it up for the Dallas Mavericks. They trail by seven. Pass to Lively. The shot by Washington and he’s wide open. Good on the three-point shot. You love how each side has risen to the challenge throughout this one. Man, this has been a fun one. But look, who doesn’t love a high-scoring game? And Los Angeles guys shooting 56% in this game. Really stringing quality possessions together offensively. Reeves with the screen for Donic. And they come right back with their own three-pointer. Donic has got 17 points here in the second half. pass to Washington. Lively sets a screen for Washington and it’s off from three-point range. Lakers lead by seven. James outside. Christie against Donic from outside. Off the mark. Mavericks have gone three of five here in the fourth quarter. Pretty good numbers coming out of the break and the basket is good. Got it to go through on the contact. So a free throw coming up. Great opportunity for a three-point play. And Anthony Davis has checked in for the Mavericks. First team foul. Shooting for Dallas. Christy wine shot. One shot. And we’re about three minutes into the fourth quarter. Reeves outside. James looking it over. Pass to Lavia. Oh, Donic in traffic. And the level of concentration that Donic has even under pressure. This guy is cool as a cucumber. Maverick trail by six inside and finished off by Lively. Oh, and he he went for the two-hander on the slam using some muscle, some urgency from him there. Sure. We played just over three and a half minutes now in the fourth quarter. Donic kicks to Hayes. Pass to Reeds. It’s rebounded by Dallas. Here’s Christie. Exum dishes to Marshall. Lively a screen on James. Marshall with it. Defended by Reeds. Five to shoot. Marshall with it. Looking on James. Marshall can’t hit. Reeves. That’s a two-pointer. Rebound by Marshall. Not that time. But that’s a shot that he’s going to make more often times than not. Hively a screen on James. Here’s Marshall. And contact on the shot. So he’ll be shooting free throws here. It’s on Bronny James at the line for Mavericks. Naji Marshall taking two shots. Shooting two. The first free throw is good. A different look for Dallas. Daniel Gaffford’s checked in for Jerick Lively. Thompson comes in for Dante Exom. And it’s Russell in for Christie. And so he’s able to get one of two. And Richard, you’ve watched LeBron James over the years. His approach never waver. It never changes. He is all business all the time on the court, off the court. The consistency of his focus and mental toughness is unbelievable. Here’s Russell. Out to the right wing. Marshall deciding where to go with it. And here’s Davis for three. Good. And it’s Russell picking up the assist. Davis has got 15 points here in the second half. Just some quick thinking from AD. Doesn’t want to give the D any time to react. Just catch it and shoot it. Smart with the ball. Donic outside. Fires for three. Oh, Donic launching that one. for the real. Come at us and we’re coming right back at you. Yeah, I love the competitive fire right there. You drain a triple on us and I’m coming for my revenge. Davis up top. James covering Davis. The pass to Gaffford and Gam throws it down. And guys, I don’t know that this is the time for that kind of flare in a close game. The important thing is to get the two points, not necessarily the dramatic. Oh, come on. He had to go for that, didn’t he? My goodness. And JJ Reick is called timeout. He has decided it’s the right time to talk. Checked in for Marcus Smart. And let’s head over to the sideline and catch up with David Aldridge. Hey guys, JJ Reick’s message with his team was simple. Coach was really hyping up his guys. He told them, “This is what it’s all about, fellas. You’re in this spot for a reason. Go out and take this win.” See if they can follow those instructions, guys. Thank you, David. On defense, the Mavericks. It’s a three-point game. Hatchim kicks to James. Great focus from LeBron. Gets hit and still gets it to go. Now look, a coach is going to trust LeBron James to just put up monster numbers cuz that’s who he is. But it is nice to see him get into a nice groove like this. And so it’s Russell with it. He’ll bring it up for the Mavericks. And there’s the whistle. 3 second violation. Second call. Lakers leading by five. Now Reeves takes it off the glass. Wow. He doesn’t make plays like that very often. That’s a nice move inside. Now here’s Thompson. Outside Davis. Pass to Gaffford. Outside Russell. Thompson sets the big for Russell. Hits the three-point bomb. Russell’s got 19 points. Yeah, you want the momentum on your side. And Russell showing you how it’s done. Reeves against Thompson. And they double up. Donic. Hachimura kicks to LeBron just fine on the clock. Outside. A second chance effort. Donic with a strong move inside and inside. Luca knows the bucket is there so he is willing to fight for it. Average trail by six. He’s covered by Hatchima and Davis now top of the key pass to Gafford and stolen by Eton. Davis against James. Oh, Aton in position. Hammers the alley through. When Aiden is rolling, he is truly dangerous. He can just continue rolling with force all night long. 157 left to play in the final quarter. Russell against Donic out to Thompson and good. Got the friendly bounce off the right side of the rim and that’s now nine points for Klay Thompson. 144 left in the fourth quarter. LeBron outside. This one for three. The shot’s good on the assist by Donic. Donic has got four assists in the game. I like this wrinkle. Put LeBron off the ball and then make a play for him. Average trail by nine. And here’s Russell down low. It’s stolen by Himura. Thompson against Reeves. Back to James. Some nice passing here by Los Angeles. And the dump by Don. And sometimes defenses sweep on Don’s ability to elevate. He is capable of throwing it down. 116 left in the fourth quarter. Driving in. It’s hauled in by LeBron. Los Angeles leading by 11. Guys, I think this is a game they have to feel good about as we wind through the final moments here in what looks to be a solid win for Los Angeles. There’s superior ball handling. Want it for him. And fewer turnovers equals greater scoring opportunities. Any coach will tell you that if you take care of the ball every possession and this is a perfect example of what happens when you do. And while there was some nice performances tonight, it definitely ended up being a solid
