The game that everyone was watching on Tuesday was the Lakers vs Dallas. If you were hiding under a rock. the Lakers and Dallas made a groundbreaking trade as Anthony Davis was sent to the Mavs and Luka Doncic was sent to LA. Both players did not know that they were going to be traded from their respective teams. Luka felt hurt and it showed when both teams matched up on Tuesday.


Without Anthony Davis out of the line-up, LA felt like they could take care of the Mavs as well as send a message to everyone in the West. Luka came out the gate on a heater, shooting threes left and right, while starring down his former teammates. He finished the first half with 12 rebounds, 12 points, and 7 dishes. Now, the spotlight was on Luka, but Austin Reaves was a sniper in two quarters. He scored 14 points, but let's talk about getting his teammates involved with his tight passes for easy lay-ins. Despite dominating the game, LA allowed the Mavs to sneak back in the game, cutting the lead to single digits to start off the third quarter.


JJ Reddick loved the intensity of the game, but he wanted the Lakers to calm down and not force shots. Uncle Drew put a lot of pressure on the Lakers as he helped the Mavs cut LA's lead to three, midway in third. Let's take it to the fourth, where every basket was a key factor. Klay Thompson was like excuse me; you must have forgot about me. Thompson hit three consecutive threes to tie the game with under four minutes left in the game. Luka' magic and the King played the two-man game and hit some crutch shots down the stretch to escape with the victory. Luka finished with 19 points, 15 boards, and 12 assists. James finished with 27 points
