James’ offensive toils followed him in the second half. He failed to record a point, attempting just three shots across the final 20 minutes of action. He showed an aversion to getting to the rack â just one of his eight field goal attempts came at the rim.
Nevertheless, the game was in James’ hands with the clock dwindling. He had a chance to fire off a potential triple to strike down Flagg and the Mavericks in the game’s final seconds. Unfortunately for him and his teammates, James’ attempt strayed wide, resigning Los Angeles to a two-point defeat.
