The Dallas Mavericks and LA Lakers clash in an exciting Western Conference matchup to continue their two-game mini-series. Their first matchup of the two-game set was a thriller that went down to the wire. It was headlined as Anthony Davis return game but the moment was spoiled for LA fans as Luka Doncic and Co. got the 115-110 win.
Right back to work
This is the third time these two teams are meeting this season. The LA Lakers won the first matchup while the Mavericks won the second. This game will be the tie-breaker for the regular-season series and we should expect another nail-biter.
