The Dallas Mavericks blew a 27 point lead and fell to the Los Angeles Lakers at home Sunday afternoon, 111-108. After the game, Josh Bowe and I got together to discuss how the loss happened.
This loss is bound to stick with fans for a while, as it was a nationally televised mid-afternoon game against the Los Angeles Lakers. These two popular teams draw in a ton of eyes and losing this way to the Lakers reminded me of a similar loss in December of 2002 where Dallas gave up a 30 point lead heading into the fourth at home to the Lakers as well.
