NBA: LeBron Gone in the Last Quarter, Dallas Deepens Lakers Crisis | Israel today

Aside from Washington's victory over Detroit in which Danny Abdia was injured, five more games were played tonight in the NBA League.

LA Lakers (34:27) - Dallas (25:37) 109: 104

Although they put in more effort than in the last few games, the Lakers were unable to beat Luka Doncic and his teammates, and suffered a sixth loss in the last seven games.

LeBron James scored 26 points and Carmelo Anthony added 20, and it looks like the City of Angels team, which returned from an All-Star deficit with 3 straight losses, could be left out of the play-offs.

💥 OK THEN LUKA!

Doncic excelled with 25 points, including 7 in the final quarter, and Jaylen Branson added 22 en route to an eighth win in the last 10 games.

Dallas did drop a 21-point lead but managed to keep the win thanks to an excellent last quarter by Doncic, when on the other side LeBron James did not score for 8 consecutive minutes.

Luka & Jalen Brunson combined for 47 PTS.

Jalen wreaked havoc on defense picking off 4 steals, while Luka was a maestro leading the @dallasmavs on a 15-4 run to secure the W!

Minnesota (29:34) - Golden State (19:43) 114: 129

Another performance by Carl Anthony Towns - 39 points and 9 rebounds - that swept the Timberwolves from seventh place in the West to a win over second in the Golden State table, in what could be a playoff series real soon.

Kar-Anthony Towns BALLED OUT for the @Timberwolves dropping 20 points in the first half on his way to 39 points and the T-Wolves victory!

DiAngelo Russell scored 22 points against the ex, Malik Beasley added 20 on 6 of 9 from outside the arc for Minnesota.

What made the difference in the game was Minnesota's control under the basket with 42:54 in points - when the Warriors could not find a solution to KAT's ability.

Steph Kerry led the Golden State scoring with 34 points but the NBA threesome king finished with just 5 of 16 off the arc while his friend Clay Thompson was absent for a second straight game due to illness.
