Halftime: Mavericks 50, Lakers 47
LeBron James' 3-pointer to end the half partially salvages what was a disastrous quarter for LA. They were outscored by the Luka-less Mavs 27-14. LeBron has 15 points. Anthony Davis is struggling: 4 points (1-5 FGs), 5 turnovers, 3 fouls.
As is with anything @MirinFader writes, this was incredible, and an awesome look at Austin Reaves.
From Rajon Rondo's time stamp memory, shit talking w/LeBron James and one of my favorite quotes courtesy of Trevor Ariza: โThis motherfucker can guard him.โ

Austin Reaves has carved out a role for himself among the Lakersโ many future Hall of Famers. @mirinfader on the undrafted rookieโs journey from Newark, Arkansas, to Los Angeles: https://t.co/Eob7HAuv1g
Frank Vogel said Anthony Davis will be out tonight for a second straight game, but his knee is โstructurally sound,โ and heโs considered day-to-day moving forward.
Austin Reaves is up to 13 points on 4 of 6 FGโs with 4 FTโs, plus 5 boards and 2 assists in 25 strong bench minutes.
LAL continue to lead comfortably with 2:22 left.
