Column: Helene Elliott writes that while battling for a spot in the play-in tournament, the Lakers were their worst selves when they should be at their best.

Maxi Kleber hits a three-pointer at the buzzer as the Lakers squander a four-point lead with 7.2 seconds left in a 111-110 loss to the Dallas Mavericks.

Before Davis said anything else to his teammates after the game, he told them the last play was his fault. He said he’d watch film Saturday and practice free throws. But the chance to move up was lost, leaving the Lakers on the downside of an emotional seesaw and under mounting pressure every game. Asked about his positioning when he fouled Kleber on the three-point attempt, he said he tried to contest it from the side. “I’m smart, I never really jump straight in front of people because they jump so far. I still probably clipped him a little bit. I haven’t looked at it,” he said. “But I just tried to really jump on the side of him. I actually think he shot it a little left, honestly, but a couple bad defensive plays by me.
