In a very close match after the break, the Lakers did not find the resources to end their losing streak. The executioner ? Luka Doncic, who had fun in the final against a certain LeBron James. The Slovenian wanted to go home with the victory.
The Lakers’ affairs are not getting better, while they were still playing at home on Tuesday evening. The team in front? The Mavs, who have been in fine form in recent weeks, with a Luka Doncic who wakes up in this second part of the season. The logic was also respected, with a 109-104 victory for the Texas franchise after 48 minutes of play.
Carmelo Anthony’s 20 points off the bench were not enough, while LeBron James finished his game with 26 points and 12 rebounds. It’s something else for Russell Westbrook, still struggling, who does not exceed 12 units, and only 5/14 to shoot. More than ever, some fans are calling for change.
The crisis continues at the Lakers
The man of the game, he is still called Doncic, author of 25 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists. He was decisive in the final, with a clear domination over LeBron, and in isolation please:
Luka over LeBron. ????

Like a grown-up, Luka carried his team to victory, and LeBron couldn’t do anything to stop him. With 3 wins in 13 games, the crisis continues in the City of Angels:
New defeat for the Lakers, who can no longer win games. Can this roster stand up? As it stands, the answer is no. Luka Doncic took the opportunity to have fun, while Dallas continues its beautiful course in the West.
