Los Angeles Lakers registered their 16th win of the season in an exciting fashion as they beat the Mavericks in the OT. LeBron James led the scoring charts for the Lakers in their win at the American Airlines Center. Austin Reaves, however, was the star of the night as he dropped a buzzer-beater with just 0.9 secs left on the clock.
It was a much-needed win for the Lakers as they have been struggling for consistency this season. However, now they’re on a three-game winning run. The highlight to the day will surely be Austin Reaves’ last-second three-pointer, but James has never failed to attract eyeballs in an NBA game.
James recorded 24 points, 5 assists, and 3 rebounds against the Mavericks. Moreover, during the game, James tried to impersonate Michael Jordan with an insane dunk.
