From sunny but chilly Dallas, where two playoff hopefuls and two of the game's best players square off at American Airlines Center. James into Doncic, skips to Bryant. Out of the corner, here's Walker, and he's the leading three-point shooter this year for the Lakers. That's a 60-second made triple. Here's Wood, who came over in an off-season deal with Houston. He's been coming off the bench most of the year, but been in the starting lineup the last handful of the games. Good passing, wide open is Bullock, and he drills it. He hasn't been shooting it well, just 31% of the year. Here's James, flips it up and in over Doncic for his first points. Well, see, that's where he's so dangerous.

What a start for the Lakers on the road. Here's Wood facing up, taking the jumper and hitting a long two over Thomas Bryant. James gonna try to take advantage of the smaller hardaway. Here's the fadeaway on the baseline, and already LeBron James in double figures six minutes in. Reeves goes behind the back and hits against Doncic.

We'll see any time they get that mismatch, he's going to take the power forward off the dribble. Nice move. Russell Westbrook able to get to the cups. The Mavs back with it for James, hangs and finishes. That's 12 points now for LeBron. Here's McKinley Wright getting an opportunity to play with a little push shot. It's just his fourth game with the Mavericks. Nice move. Again, just explodes down the middle of the paint and gets the layup. Nice ball, man. And ground for three, that hits it. Troy Brown swishing home the triple. McKinley Wright getting it done. The basket and the foul, that's four points off the bench for Wright. Came in averaging just about a point per game. Great pass by LeBron James, his second assist. Basket by Bryant. Powers it up and in, James, his 14th point. Now James, what great hesitation and then the flip shot on the reverse is good. LeBron James in year 20 looking like a rookie here in the first half with 16. Here's Wood in the paint. Turnaround is good. But Doncic took a shot to the face and no whistle. Hardaway drills it.

At the elbow, Doncic being defended by Beverly who's done a good job on him so far. Luka leaning in off the front rim and it bounces home. About a five second difference in the clocks. Here at the end of the half, Beverly for a three, good. Patrick Beverly with nine seconds to go. Knocks down a triple. Most importantly, just when they're putting two on the ball with Luka, be aggressive when the ball's out of his hands and make a play. Well, they needed that, didn't Woody? With his first field goal of the game, Wood, good defense, gets the block. Here's James, pull-up jumper. 20 points for LeBron James. The all-time leading scorer on Christmas Day in transition. Great pass, the lefty lob, and Brian with the slam. He's been carrying the Lakers with Anthony Davis. Out, Wood, drops in the three. Doncic gives it up. Here's Dinwiddie in rhythm, a good on the three, his second of the quarter. Doncic and Hardaway with the shot clock buzzer. Hits the third three for the Mavs of the quarter and they're back within three. Five assists for Luka. He is fourth in the NBA in assists as Lonnie Walker drills a three. Wood, nice pass inside. Powell hesitates, gets the layup. A lot of people thought Kareem's, who you coached early on in Milwaukee, that that record would never be broken, but. Well, let's face it, LeBron's gonna play 20 years. James over Doncic, cans it, and that's 22 for LeBron. Yeah, you just like the patience there. Doncic with that power move, gets to the goal.

To the corner, bull up. Another three goes down for the Mavs here in the second half. Doncic from the logo thought about it. Nice. Hardaway off the bounce, another one. Patience, patience. Thought it was cool too that Luka Doncic was out there too for the ceremony as Westbrook drives and scores a much needed bucket, ending a 14 to nothing Dallas run. Doncic and the Mavs on fire here in the quarter. Wood, drive and kick. Hardaway, that's good. That's nine threes in the third for the Mavs. Oh, pretty. Doncic hangs but can't finish. Got the offensive rebound. Oh, and a fake! He totally faked that Gabriel and then just scored. How about that? That's what you say, 6'7", 230. Upper body strength, all the moves. Wood counted and won. But Reeves starts the fourth with a three. James in transition and he gets hacked by Hardaway. James down the middle of the paint, missed the layup but he's fouled again. See, he's upset. Nine nothing, Lakers to start the quarter. Hardaway hits the mid-range to go. Hardaway drills a three. Here's James with a shot clock at four. Spinning and a tough shot but it drops. That's 33 points now for James. See, Schroeder's had a tough game. Easy pickings there as Doncic with the alley-oop to Wood. It's LeBron against five and counted and won. LeBron James with 35 and a chance at another point. Here's Wood on the drive out to Bullock, wide open, that's good. And Beverly gets the basket and won. 104-93. Oh, nice. Great pass by Wood underneath to Bullock for the easy two. Reeves, nice move, gets the reverse layup. No official timetable on when AD will be back and will the Lakers still be in it when he does come back as Doncic gets the basket, his 25th point. Nothing has happened until this last quarter. And Tim Hardaway Jr. having a half. Schroeder turns it over. Look out here. Doncic gives it up and now Wood, the trailer, gets the slam. Westbrook for three. Reeves trying to hang with Doncic. Luka comes up short. Wood almost tipped it in and then Wood absolutely toying with the smaller Laker defenders. The shot clock down to five gets into the paint. Now it's Bullock pulling the trigger. The 17-3 for Dallas tonight. And with Anthony Davis out, he's really their only other big that they count on, but we have not seen him really at all here in the second half. Doncic with the dagger. Luka Doncic with 32. So Dallas will improve to 18-16. This will be three straight wins. And again, because of the way the things are in the West, as Reeves gets that one and a foul, Dallas is only five games out of first. That's right. And the Mavericks beat the Lakers 124-115.
