Ingram, Ball lead Lakers to 107-97 win over Mavericks
DALLAS - Brandon Ingram scores 29 points and Lonzo Ball added 21 as the
Los Angeles Lakers handed the Dallas Mavericks a rare home loss, 107-97, on
Monday night.
The two young Lakers responded to their coach Luke Walton's demand for more
passion after a blowout loss to Minnesota on Sunday. The duo helped rally Los
Angeles from a double-digit halftime deficit.
The Lakers won for just the second time in seven games since LeBron James
strained his groin on Christmas Day, and they swept the season series from the
Mavericks 3-0.
Los Angeles surged ahead by outscoring the Mavericks 32-13 in the third
quarter. The Lakers took their first lead of the game late in the third quarter
on Ball's dunk. They closed the third on a 13-4 run with Ball and Michael
Beasley scoring 11 of 13 points.
An 11-2 run to start the fourth put the Laker up 96-82 with 8:52 to play.
Dallas closed to within seven twice in the third quarter, but each time Ingram
drew the defense to him and dished to JaVale McGee for dunks.
Luke Doncic scored 27 points to lead Dallas. The rookie was virtually the
entire Mavericks offense in the second half, making six of his team's field
goals after the break. Dallas had 11 turnovers in the second half in addtion to
11-for-43 shooting.
Dallas fell to 16-4 at home. The Mavericks entered the day tied for the fewest
home losses in the NBA.
The Lakers came back from 13 down at halftime to tie the score 76-all When Ball
hit the second of two free throws with 3:47 left in the third quarter, capping
a 22-9 run.
With James still out, the Lakers got Kyle Kuzma back in the lineup after
missing past two games with a lower back contusion. Kuzma missed his first
eight shots and didn't score until midway through the second quarter, but he
hit 3s early in the third quarter to spark the Laker's comeback.
The Dallas bench helped the Mavs buid a double-digit lead and hold it steady
through the second quarter. Reserves Dwight Powell, Dorian Finney-Smith and
J.J. Barea combined for 23 points in the first half as Dallas led 67-54 at the
break. The Mavs shot 58 percent from the field in the first half.

Brandon Ingram 在今天拿到29分加上 Lonzo Ball的21分帶領 Los Angeles Lakers 讓
Dallas Mavericks 嘗到最近主場一敗。
兩個年輕球員在今天做出回應對於昨天教練 Luke Walton 在大比分輸掉對上 Minnesota的
比賽之後說道需要更多熱情這件事。
兩個人幫助球隊在半場兩位數落後贏得勝利。
Lakers 在 LeBron 鼠蹊部受傷缺陣之後贏得第二場比賽，這也是這個系列戰 Lakers橫掃
Mavericks的第三勝。
Lakers 一度以大比分 32-13 在第三節領先 Mavs，在第三節末段Ball 的灌籃之後，這也
是本場比賽第一次領先。
他們以 13-4 的攻勢結束第三節，而 Ball 以及 Michael Beasley 在13分中拿下11分。
在第四節一開始 Lakers 就以 11-2 的攻勢擴大領先 — 在 8:52 時分數來到 96-82。
Dallas 兩次追分到個位數7分，不過每次 Ingram 都一再防守然後助攻給 JaVale McGee
灌籃。
Luke Doncic 在 Dallas 全隊最高拿下27分。這名新秀幾乎主導整個 Mavericks 下半場的
進攻—在 Dallas 比數落後之後，在全隊 field goals 中拿下六個。
Dallas 在下半場有11次失誤以及43投11中的投籃命中率。
這場比賽之後，Dallas 主場的成績來到 16-4 ，這也是現在在聯盟裡主場的最佳成績。
Lakers 在半場結束前從13分落後追至76分平手—在 Ball兩罰一中之後並以 22-9 領先。
隨著 James 今天仍然缺席比賽，Lakers 讓 Kyle Kuzma 腰部挫傷缺席兩場比賽之後回歸
先發陣容。
Kuzma 投的前八顆球都沒中直到第二節中段時，不過在第三節開始時投進兩記三分球，這
也激起 Lakers 的鬥志。
在第二節，Dallas 板凳帶領 Mavs 以兩位數比分持續領先，包括 Dwight Powell、Dorian
Finney-Smith 以及 J.J. Barea 合拿23分在上半場當 Dallas 以 67-54 領先。
而在上半場 Dallas 的投籃命中率為 58%。
