What we learned from the Lakers-Mavericks game at Crypto.com Arena on Friday night.
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.Gabriel entered with 4:16 to play in the third quarter and played until the final buzzer, with the exception of one momentary substitution and quick reentry, his play infectious and inspiring.
“That’s part of one of the things with my skill set, is that mobility to do that with a player like Kyrie or I’m guarding a big, to be able to double, kind of slide and try to get the ball out of his hands and that was something that was my job,” Gabriel said. “And then when my guy goes help, go get offensive rebounds and that’s another thing that I’ve been able to bring value to the team.
“And we did the job we wanted,” Ham said. “We seek out to do every game, and that’s to win the free-throw line. We got 31 attempts but you got to make more than 19. We make our free throws, we’re probably not having this conversation.” Davis made one of two free throws with 6.7 seconds left, giving the Lakers a two-point lead but leaving the door open for Kleber to make a buzzer-beating three-pointer for the Dallas win over a stunned Lakers team.
“I shot a little right. We would have been up three after that point,” Davis said. “Still kind of processing it. I mean, you think about it, up three, even if he makes a three, overtime. … I mean, a tough loss.”
