Anthony Davis’ ill-advised foul on a Kleber 3-point attempt with 7.2 seconds left and his missed free throw a few ticks later set up Kleber to bury a 3-pointer that beat them, 111-110.
LOS ANGELES — Of all the players to make mistakes at critical moments, the hope would be that Anthony Davis would be the least likely candidate.
Davis fouled the Dallas Mavericks’ Maxi Kleber on a 3-point attempt with 7.2 seconds left, allowing the visitors to pull within a point. Then, after being fouled, Davis missed the first of two free throws, giving the Mavericks a chance to win with 6.7 seconds remaining. Coming in with a chance to pull to an even record with the Dallas team directly ahead of them in the standings, the Lakers instead dropped to 10th place in a Western Conference standings battle where every loss down the stretch stings even more. They missed 12 of their 31 free throws and couldn’t make a field goal in the final 3:16, costing themselves a tiebreaker against Dallas, which could be a headache down the road.
Coach Darvin Ham leaned on his backcourt bench tandem of Dennis Schröder and Austin Reaves , who weren’t deadeye shots but came through at critical moments, especially in the fourth quarter. Schröder had back-to-back baskets to open the final period, helping cut into the nine-point lead the Mavericks built with an 8-0 run to end the third. Reaves dazzled with a baseline drive and a floater finish through a foul from Justin Holiday midway through the fourth.
