Dallas Mavericks won a Lakers without LeBron win an awesome ease. One team is playing good and moving up on the rank of the league and the other one is going down. Lakers is actually out of Play-in, a terrible new for the franchise of Los Angeles. At the start of the season, Dallas was thought to be in trouble to enter Playoffs. However, they are now one of the teams with best shape on the league. With the victory against Lakers, they are now at a game of Golden State Warriors. So they will fight for the third place in the West Conference.
With an incredible Luka Doncic (MVP of the match one more time) Dallas did not have any problem to win the Angelinos. Luka did a triple-double with 34 points, 12 rebounds and 12 assists. It was not a surprise. If with LeBron making amazing and historical matches at his age, without him is even more difficult to win a single game. The truth is that win a game without James is unimaginable. And less against a team that is working great.
As the scoreboard reflects, the game had short history. At the end of the first quarter, the guys of Texas were 18 points ahead Lakers. Then, on the second one this advantage would go to 37 points. It was a new defeat for Lakers that are further of enter in play-in. A path that seems unrecognisable. They are right now with the same result as San Antonio and fighting for the tenth place in the West Conference.
Frank Vogel, the head coach of Lakers, said this on the post-game: “With the absence of this guys, we have a talent deficit. This is just the last reality dose that the team has met this year. When you lose Lebron you have to adapt one more time to a season of mishap“. About the individual game of some players are totally different comparing the situation of the team. The best players of Lakers was probably Rusell Westbrook. With 25 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists completed an acceptable performance. Malik Monk too. The young player scored 28 points and 6 out 10 in triples. The teammates also miss a lot Anthony Davis. The American player is near to be back. The next match will probably play some minutes. A very good new for the fans of Lakers and basketball.
