After three straight losses, the last two of which coming with a seemingly uninspired effort from the team, the Los Angeles Lakers young core knew they needed a huge bounce-back performance against the Dallas Mavericks.
Despite the obstacles in their way, the group was up to the challenge playing on the second night of a back-to-back. Brandon Ingram, Lonzo Ball and Josh Hart stole the show in the second half, leading the Lakers back from a 15-point deficit for a 107-97 victory.
After previous struggles in crunch time, Ingram led the way with a season-high 29 points and 6 assists, making multiple big plays down the stretch to secure the victory.
