No Doncic for the Mavs. LeBron super aggressive early, which is unlike him and making. Westbrook aggressive as well, but Dallas stay with them. The Mavs scoring dries up late in the quarter, Lakers up 10. Powell's been in the league a long time, should be able to finish plays that aren't just dunks. Brunson filling the Luka void in the 1st half and Dallas defensively keeping Davis from having an impact, Mavs up 3. Hardaway after struggling, comes alive in the 3rd. LeBron turns the ball over, but gets a phantom call. At that moment Breen decides to positively comment on his stats... Helps when you can't do wrong. The rookie Reaves 4 of 4 from outside for the Lakers. Down the stretch, Ellington hits a 3 to tie the game after air-balling the previous trip. Dallas have multiple poor clutch possessions, game goes to OT. So many air-balls this game. A good block by Porzingis, Hardaway ties it up with a deep 3. Westbrook hits a contested 3 to go back up 3. Davis unnecessarily coming to help on multiple occasions, Kleber luckily banks a 3 to tie it back up again. The rook Reaves hits the game-winner on a Westbrook drive and kick-out. Dallas missed way too many 3's here. The Lakers better from the field and 3, Dallas +5 on the boards with just 11 turnovers. Brunson excellent for the losing side, with 25 points, 9 assists. Hardaway 20 points, 9 boards, off the bench. Reaves 5 of 6 from range for the Lakers, his only attempts, along with 7 boards. James 24 points, 5 assists. Westbrook almost a triple-double, with 23 points, 10 boards, 9 assists. Davis and Porzingis for either side put up numbers, but inefficient, with high turnovers.
