Dallas dominates far and wide for three quarters of the match, then disappears in the final fraction, recovering a 20-point lead. The Lakers, led by LeBron capable of scoring 16 of his 26 points in the final half, took the lead with 1’16” left before the siren but Irving’s triple with 21” left put the Texan team back in front. James fails to respond in the final seconds, commits a decisive turnover three seconds before the siren and at the end fails to make a triple for a possible equalizer.
