LeBron James tied his lowest scoring total in a game this season but the Los Angeles Lakers had some timely 3-point shooting as a team on Sunday night as they defeated the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday night, 108-95. Anthony Davis had a game-high 23 points to go with nine rebounds and four assists.
James was great at setting the table for his teammates with 13 assists but he tied a season-low with just 13 points on the night. Luckily for Lakers, LeBron and Danny Green each hit a pair of 3-pointers while Kentavious Caldwell-Pope had another hot night from the field, going four for five from the 3-point line off the Lakers bench.
The Lakers held Dallas to just 36% shooting on the evening and the story of the game could not be told without discussing the brutal fall suffered by Dallas phenom Luka Doncic after a block by Dwight Howard. Doncic had 19 points and seven assists but was just five for 14 from the field.
Kyle Kuzma couldn’t keep his hot streak going, failing to score on the night but grabbing five rebounds while going 0 for seven from the field.
Now the Lakers have a good chunk of days off between now and their next game as they aren’t scheduled to play again until Wednesday against the Phoenix Suns.
