LOS ANGELES — Fans primarily came to Crypto.com Arena, or tuned in to TNT, to watch LeBron James make history. Or at the least watch a duel between superstars...
The Lakers had won six of their previous eight games, but they fell for the second time to the Mavericks in the last three weeks, having also lost in Dallas on Christmas Day when the Mavericks reeled off 51 third-quarter points.
Doncic also bombed in the 3-pointer that ultimately forced the second overtime, with 47 seconds left, tying the score at 108-108. Wood then blocked a James drive at the rim just before the buzzer. Wood remained in the game for the second overtime despite badly turning his ankle on one of his key blocks.
James entered the game needing 35 points to join Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as the only players in NBA history to score 38,000 career points. Russell Westbrook came off the bench to score a team-high 28 points for the Lakers, including a pair of free-throws with 11.8 seconds left in regulation to push Los Angeles’ lead to 101-98. But then Doncic pulled up for his tying 3, silencing the crowd.
