Doncic and the Mavs win their duel against the Lakers

Dallas, carried by Luka Doncic, inflicted a third loss in a row (109-104) to LeBron James’ LakersTuesday in the NBA, while Golden State, weighed down by absences, lost to Minnesota, weakening its second place in the West a little more. “Luka Magic” (25 pts, 8 rbds, 5 assists) who crushes a spectacular tap-dunk, symbolizing the dominance of the Mavs in the first period, then who rises, avoiding a against “King James”, to score a crucial basket reviving his team in the money-time. Two actions illustrating the two-speed game of Texans more than ever Doncic-dependent.

Because in the meantime, the Lakers showed pride to clear 15 points from the breakfirst by a second Stanley Johnson knife, author of two baskets in a row from long distance, then by “LBJ” (26 pts, 12 rebounds) who chained three others, including one with the logo in the center of the field. But LA could not confirm in the 4th quarter, its leader showing signs of fatigue, without any of his teammates taking over, like Russell Westbrook (12 pts, 8 assists) still without a compass. And the Californians get bogged down in 9th position in the West, more than ever promised to the play-offs play-offs, at best.
