What began as a Sunday matinee beat-down of the Lakers became an epic the Mavericks meltdown. Almost certain victory disintegrated into nearly unfathomable...
Just like the Sacramento and Minnesota losses, Dallas trailed by three with less than 20 seconds remaining and had possession.
Doncic, not realizing that it is legal to cross the midcourt line to retrieve an inbounds pass, instead leaped and tried to tap the ball to the frontcourt. Instead the ball rolled to Davis for Dallas’ 17th and most costly turnover.In the Sacramento loss, Doncic took and missed an off-balance 3-pointer. In the Minnesota defeat Doncic and Irving passed it back and forth, failing to get off a shot before Irving turned the ball over.
“He was like, ‘Ah, man, it’s my fault.’ I was like, ‘It’s all good.’ I mean, this is what it’s going to be like when you’re learning in-game with one another. It’s not going to look pretty all the time. But you’ve just got to enjoy the process the same way, wins and losses come. Moving forward we’ll definitely be more in line.”
That play didn’t cost Dallas the game, though. It was the loss of composure when the whistles started becoming more frequent and the Lakers changed tactics after missing their first 15 3-point attempts. They pounded the ball inside, outscoring Dallas in the paint by 30 points.“It’s just our maturity, understanding what we have to do at that time,” Kidd said. “Look, we’ve seen a lot of basketball games when you have big leads, we know which way the whistle’s going to go.
