Los Angeles Lakers vs Dallas Mavericks Full Game Highlights - February 25, 2025 | NBA

from his favorite spot

LeBron

finals and he establishes early that he

is not going to hear it from donic or

anyone else in this game as Max Christie

got donic off his feet and hits a nice

little mid-range Jason kid really loved

what he's seen from here early on and

giving him a nice

spark inside Jackson Hayes himself at

nine rebounds in five assists against

Denver on Saturday is Kyrie Irving with

the left hand one of the alltime great

finishers since mid

January and in fourth but a realistic

chance to get to a two- seat is Kyrie

Irving buries one in Don's face you know

all the talk about Luca and LeBron but

don't be surprised if Kyrie doesn't end

up being the best player on the floor

and he fires another one off of Steel

Irving inial reactions the trash

talking the histrionics the body

language things could get real spicy

here throughout this game as donic rips

another one and immediately turns to the

Mavericks

bench top 75 all time still smack dab in

the middle of his crime and and to be an

afterthought in a trade is

incredible finals last year as well nice

pass vanderbel had it strip from behind

though Kyrie Irving comes away with

another steal iring Rises up and

finishes strong bucket there by and our

thanks to Jason kid thank you Ally and

Greg they've matched him the Mavericks

as Klay Thompson hits first shot of the

first

quarter D connect first minutes on the

floor and his regular rotation spot now

starting the second quarter Reeds able

to shake and score half back now playing

in his 10th game after the rist surgery

and he finally finds the bottom on a

three play rhythm going

Reeves gives it up connect in the corner

what a find by Reeves and do connect

with the makeup of this roster for him

to get consistent

minutes Marshall shakes LeBron James

able to score no he didn't just he

didn't just drop a too small on LeBron

James did he he he did him out the

way I don't like that for him oh what a

pass James sets up Jackson

AES three for 14 from three-point range

as Reeves goes to playmaking and connect

on the receiving end what a

pass haimura battling Christy a too easy

for him that's a lot of weight he's

given haimura really patient on that

attack chrisy comes right back out back

him the handle again but he does find

the open man fortunate to get that back

finny Smith was all over him but the

Mavs get an didn't have the legs under

him

that's exactly what it was just doesn't

have the explosiveness that he used

toter in the corner is good Jared

Vanderbilt well he can be a serious

disruptor on the defensive end as he

picks up Den witty here Den Wy just puts

up a prayer and it is answered wow that

was like a late clock shot by Den

wty hit a tough one

wow behind the head Reeves wide open

Luca Magic on display in the purple and

gold wouldn't happen if it wasn't done

behind the scenes there's no question

about

that scores it what do you mean by that

well if that starting to show a lot of

Life are the Timberwolves Oklahoma City

still sitting at the top a comfortable

lead in that number one spot is LeBron

James to slow up donic enough to allow

that second wave of Defense to get there

and Christy with the block Kyrie Irving

for three show with a block Dallas

tightening the screws on the Lakers here

Christie sets up again in the corner

cash with that jaw right now he took a

heavy hit from

LeBron donic no look into the corner for

aim mura and that's going to fall

friendly bounce and he can deliver

scoring passes

from anywhere on the

floor good ball movement switching sides

in and out they go and Thompson finally

gets a look Thompson hits one over Hayes

second half trap Luka also bring the

pressure to Austin Reeves as well

offensively love that they're getting to

the rim the paint touches are great but

they've been impatient so when the

defense collaps on them in the paint but

it's not as if he goes into every game

and the game plan isn't to double team

it and he's going to see your best

defender so he's comfortable in those

situations as Klay Thompson delivers

another triple there to his spots

against anybody D just stops on a dive

he's got all that plays too and his

strength you know that the strength

often times compensates for quickness as

Kyrie

continues with the Lakers they're

they're still without the big man they

were

seeking and not been able to finish the

deal Mark Williams is re

lays and and Reeves at 18

now make a 20

correction and den witty Den Wy able to

hit and he's fouled boy he would

encourag Kyrie Irving to start jumping

passing Lanes to take advantage of the

weak passes as vanderbelt hits a quarter

three for the L down six with the ball

Den Wy guarded by

Vincent Dante X him in the corner hits

one over James

uh we've been able to get good shots uh

we just got to stick with that

defensively how organized have you been

and how do you sort of tiip away at

their

confidence yeah I mean for the most part

Kyrie Irving was there

defending Thompson passes up a three and

that little hesitation gets one over the

seven Reeves turns the corner leaves it

up top for

ha Christie gives it up Washington for

three no good Reeves up ahead LeBron

catch finish

wow

wow my

goodness forget the fact he's 40 that

was incredible as Thompson quiets him

down here at

Krypto the athleticism to get in the air

catch a pass from what 45 ft and finish

it now LeBron is going to work he's got

that look at his eyes right now we we

hadn't said his name a lot in that first

half he is coming up here in the fourth

Thompson the Fly By by conect hits

another one Klay Thompson come goes

right by donic missed the layup though

Marshall gives him a second chance

Thompson

cash Luca gives it right back

R LeBron will oblig with one to shoot in

rles home the that second carried over

to the third and here in the fourth is

donit that extra step and he lays it in

that was a drives it Washington can't

finish it on LeBron James good defense

by LeBron he's got Christy down there in

a blender and

James buries it with two

hands just beautiful basketball by Luca

and LeBron Kyrie Irving and he gets a

friendly bounce the game for the former

Maverick Dorian finny Smith and that's

poked away and it is a turnover and oxy

Mur point game under three to go Kyrie

Irving lays it in never took the lead in

that run they have not had the lead

since halfway through the first quarter

is donic the ground game no B by

LeBron big fourth quarter by James donic

with a triple double his first as a

Laker and that one's easy for aim mura

to go quick and Kyrie Irving's going to

lay it in and donic fouls him I think a

bad play by PJ though if you're going to

win that tip and control it you don't

want to put it in LeBron's area and it's

Dage to LeBron James team rebounds 12

assists LeBron headed to the locker

room 27 and 12 for LeBron

James and it is the Lakers who win it by

eight
