Despite the Lakers' efforts, highlighted by Anthony Davis' game-high 37 points and LeBron James' 33 points, the Mavericks were able to hold on to the lead in the closing minutes. Exum's crucial 3-pointers, along with Doncic's clutch plays, helped Dallas secure the win.
The game featured back-and-forth action, and the Lakers, playing in their first game since winning the NBA's in-season tournament, managed to erase a 15-point deficit. However, the Mavericks' trio of Doncic, Hardaway Jr., and Exum proved to be too much for the Lakers to overcome.
Dante Exum's seven 3-pointers were a career-high and played a crucial role in the Mavericks' offensive firepower. The win improved Dallas to 2-0 against the Lakers this season.
Despite shooting efficiently, with a 53.8 percent overall field goal percentage and a 51.7 percent mark from beyond the arc, the Lakers couldn't secure the victory. Austin Reaves contributed 22 points for the Lakers, but Exum's late-game heroics secured the Mavericks' win.
