Vanderbilt, Davis and the Lakers give everything to sign a total comeback in the NBA

They will reach the goal or not, which no longer seems so far away, but it cannot be said that these Lakers lower their arms. After a disappointing first part of the season, after the necessary signings in the middle of the course, after internal and external criticism, after all a nonsense not suitable for beginning psychologists, there they are. After the All-Star they have to give everything they have left within themselves, in this franchise a third year of severe disappointment is not forgiven, and yes, there they are. The victory against the Warriors last Friday has been linked to this one, against another rival from the Western Conference, which has occurred in small circumstances. A massive comeback. One step from nothing to everything. A performance that awakens senses that were believed to be asleep.

The Angels reigned in the American Airlines Center. The Lakers lost track of time and also for a distance of 27. They began to sting and eroded the confidence of the Mavericks, which was very high in the first twenty minutes, to leave them with their mouths open. This is the attitude that will get you into the play-inthe playoffs or that, at least, it will keep the pulse of that heart so beaten these days. the result passed from 48-21 to 108-111 in 31 minutes.

They fought intensely in the second half, overcoming a sort of Globetrotters that had been in front of them up to that point.. What is always spoken in the Anglo-Saxon language of being able to stop so much joy. With the physical and with the head they ended up getting the balls to the hoop, the success of the Lakers started from a change of mentality. And that can be reproduced, so they will look for it, during the rest of the journey that remains until the end of the season. The Mavericks did not have a correct response to the series of attacks, civil or criminal, that Ham’s men gave. And their wallet was stolen at the door of the house. Now there are only three wins between the two teams, the union between Doncic and Irving is still not perfect and anything can happen.

By left some data the reader, three brushstrokes: It is the largest defeat in the history of the Mavericks; it’s the biggest comeback by a LeBron team; nothing like this had happened in the Lakers since 2002at the stage of three-peat with Kobe and Shaq, lifting 30 so many against the Mavericks. By closing several circles, it will be. The fact that something like this has not been seen with these conditions can lead us to talk about something historical. It’s just the normal season, the icing on the cakes are put in other months of the year, but what a way to change a dynamic. More than one may remember this in the future. The real victory of the Lakers is that.

Comeback after having seen something very different at the beginning. Doncic put all his weapons at the service of others, not only putting in his shots but giving away as many others that went with the bow on. Green and Wood cheered up the Slovenian’s party and the Lakers soured their character with so much failure. They started with an indescribable 0/14 from the line of three, which they would extend at halftime with a 3/21. The visitors did not even put it in a swimming pool and the locals almost laughed at the success they were having. When he found the second sleeve, Tim Hardaway the senior revived in the figure of Tim Hardaway the junior. He missed two dunks, but all he contributed was more to applaud him with three hands than to throw him a helping hand. In those minutes the maximum distance of the match was reached and at that point the Lakers chip change came. We’ll see if he extrapolates to more commitments, the health of Lakers fans will appreciate it.

Vital was Vanderbilt. “He has kicked our asses”, Kidd said at the end (he also declared that “we have to mature, to grow; I am not the savior, I do not play”). That claw that cannot, or only LeBron James can put, is the one that came from the forward, recently transferred from the Jazz along with Malik Beasley. Pundonor to the maximum and traces of off-road. His eight points in a row, two scored and two assisted, in the third quarter ended up breaking the Mavs’ sustainability.

Declaration of intent of those of Ham. They give absolutely everything. With that courage from Vanderbilt, who signed a double-double of 15+17 without hindrance to which he also added four steals, Davis, who became great in the paint, or Reaves, who stung Green in what was More personal encouragement than anything else. The Mavs perished to the sound of Doncic, without his head as furnished as at the beginning, and of Irving, who in the second half signed a very bad 3/12 in field goals. To close the negative sensations, LeBron James woke up after having scared the parish with a bad fall on his right ankle, an old scar, giving an even worse image with a man close to forty and not at all at the top of the chair. And, as a culmination, a throw-in play in which the equalizer was sought, already after the comeback was completed, in which Irving served a bad ball to an unwise Doncic. The Lakers fought the end of the game taking the distance to three and the triple to force overtime never reached the basket in this piece of feat.
