Luka Doncic beats the Mavericks again as Lakers rally in 4th for 116-110 victory

DALLAS (AP) --- Luka Doncic had 33 points and 11 assists, and the Lakers erased
a 15-point deficit in the final seven minutes of a 116-110 victory over the
Mavericks on Saturday night in the star guard's second visit to Dallas since
his shocking trade to Los Angeles almost a year ago.
LeBron James scored 11 of his 17 points in the fourth quarter, when Rui
Hachimura had a four-point play before another 3-pointer on the next possession
to put the Lakers in front for good as Doncic improved to 4-0 against his
former team.
Hachimura's 3-pointer for a 108-106 lead started an 11-2 run that Doncic capped
with a driving layup for an eight-point edge, prompting the Slovenian star to
turn his old bench and declare the game over.
Max Christie, who came to Dallas along with injured 10-time All-Star Anthony
Davis in the trade for Doncic, scored 24 points. Naji Marshall had 21 points
and 11 rebounds as Dallas' season-best four-game winning streak ended.
The Mavericks outscored the Lakers 41-14 from the start of the third quarter
until early in the fourth, turning a 13-point deficit into a 14-point lead.
Brandon Williams, who scored 20 points, had eight on a 10-2 run to finish the
third, which started with a 20-4 Dallas burst.
The lead was 15 points with less than 7 minutes remaining when the Lakers
started their rally, sparked by James after a slow start had him with a
minus-28 rating early in the fourth.
Doncic didn't have to deal with the same emotions as his return to Dallas last
season, when we wept on the bench during a tribute video before he was
introduced. The NBA's scoring leader was 14 of 15 on free throws.
