In the second game of this NBA 2022 Christmas, LeBron James played his 17th Christmas game. This didn’t stop the Lakers from taking jail time because, despite the 9 dots at the end, this Mavericks – Lakers came out of the category of balanced matches as soon as they returned from the locker room.
The beginning of the Mavs game? Let’s say that the most beautiful highlight of the evening took place… in front of the hall, with the unveiling of the statue of legend Dirk Nowitzki. In the field ? Yuck, cra-cra, cheum and the Lakers make the game mostly because Dallas plays so badly. All the first half after all or not far away, Christian Wood is the owner and has fun against the very small Lakers – we will come back to this – but Luka Doncic seems to have put more heart into the work to choose the outfit than him. game just to play basketball seriously, and logically a solo but solid LeBron’s Lakers took the lead at halftime.

The following ? Uh, put the kids to bed and we’ll tell you. The Mavs adapt to the opponent’s five, make Dinwiddie spin the wave and put Luka Doncic in the corner. The Lakers defense forgets the weak side, Luka and his genius do the rest and transfer all the balls to Tim Hardaway Jr. or Reggie Bullock. The Angelinos get water everywhere and go from +10 to -20 in a few minutes, we’ll let you do the math but we can only tell you that this game was – already – almost over, and that the gap would have given rise to… bizarre experiences from part of Darvin Ham.
Austin Reaves: 1m96
Lonnie Walker: 1m93

Christian Wood feels Olivier Minne in the middle of the small ones on the Forte, the gap is back to 10 points but Luka Doncic manages the endgame by closing a very complete score (32/9/9) and finally closing Patoche Beverley’s valve. The Mavs? They are still reassured with the third consecutive victory. The Lakers? There are evils, they don’t seem to want to go away and not even the magic of Christmas can do without them.
