The Los Angeles Lakers outplayed the Dallas Mavericks in the second half of Friday night’s win in Dallas but according to the NBA, they also got away with a foul in the final seconds of the game, helping the Lakers send the game into overtime.
On Saturday, the NBA released the review of the final moments in the Last Two Minute Report and said that Dwight Howard held Seth Curry on his screen that ended up freeing Danny Green in the right corner for the game-tying 3-pointer at the end of regulation on Friday night. Howard set a good screen but he definitely did a little extra.
The Lakers definitely outplayed the Mavericks in the second half and their defense was a huge reason why. Following the game, the Lakers exited with the 3rd ranked defense in the league and their play in the second half helped completely stop Mavericks All-Star big man Kristaps Porzingis.
