00:00And Kinnard on the acceleration towards the basket, to the corner for Rui, Hachimura hits the first three of the
00:06night.
00:06See a bunch of zone here for the Lakers, one would have met, Christy out of the corner, 40%
00:13three-point shooter.
00:17And Flagg hits his second field goal.
00:19Andrew Gafford, 27 years old, third game after he missed a couple of an injury.
00:24That's the part of Cooper Flagg's game that has to continue to grow.
00:28Oh, LeBron's got Christy, got to take matters into his own hands.
00:33He's done that at time or two.
00:36This game sees another opening, goes to the basket, and has scored two field goals in a row.
00:41He won eight possessions without shooting this basket, now he makes two back-to-back.
00:45Nice pass to Kinnard, one more Hachimura.
00:48This turnaround's good, Hachimura, who has been, as we said earlier, in and out of the starting line.
00:54James reads the room, Kinnard one more, Hachimura.
00:58Hits a three, that's 106 this year, close to this career.
01:03Cooper complained, he got a tee, Jason Kidd got a tee, as James knocks it down from the outside.
01:07LeBron, quickly, up to eight points.
01:10As Marshall hits, there's very much in it.
01:13It's like they can see the bigger picture, even going through these typical circumstances.
01:21Three-pointer goes to Jared Vanderbilt.
01:23Need everybody who can go right now for the Lakers.
01:27Flag again, what a quarter.
01:29Two for flag with a dozen.
01:34Hachimura on the curl, nice recovery by the flag to pick up Aiden, but Hachimura continues his good start here.
01:42The injuries aside, they got cleaned out by the Thunder.
01:46They did, but they've been playing so well, and it's giving the Lakers fans belief, as Marshall gets to the
01:51mid-range,
01:52to knock it down, that this team could be a serious threat, and then they have to deal with those
01:56two injuries.
01:57It's just tough, tough blow for a left.
01:59Flag switches to right, uh-oh.
02:00Great line for the basket, and one!
02:03A little open-gym feel for this opening quarter.
02:05Yes, and if you're an open-gym, I always want to play it like Cooper Flagg on my team.
02:10Oh, yeah!
02:12My goodness!
02:14He's going at it again.
02:16Got it again!
02:1819-point first quarter for Cooper Flagg.
02:21He's scored the last seven.
02:22Bronny James is in, and going to the basket for two.
02:26And one thing I love around the league, when Bronny plays, they're happy to see him succeed.
02:33Canard, Dirk look, trying to find Klay Thompson.
02:37Four, three.
02:41He could do that just sleep like.
02:43LeBron turning the ball over too much here in this first half.
02:46Wild finish goes for the speedy Brandon Williams off the feed by Flagg.
02:52Kobe Bufkin, anybody getting some minutes right now?
02:55He missed.
02:55Klay does not.
02:57Thompson, it's a three.
03:00Downtown Dallas, the Mavs trying to avoid going 30 games under 500 on the season,
03:07but Cooper Flagg has led this team out, not looking like a team that's packed up
03:11and ready for the offseason.
03:13Four to shoot, Flagg, stepping back for three.
03:16Got them all!
03:1813-0 running, he's got 22.
03:22Klay on the back cut to the basket.
03:24Thompson for two.
03:25J.J. and I were in a situation with the Clippers.
03:28We lost our two best players in a five-minute span in the playoffs
03:31with Blake Griffin and Chris Paul against Portland and had to try to figure it out.
03:35Oh, remember that too?
03:36Yes.
03:36As LeBron gets to go off the glass, we didn't figure it out, but nobody feels sorry for him.
03:42Hayes inside.
03:43Canard is the starting lineup tonight for the Lakers.
03:46Good pass.
03:49John Jordan contains the pass.
03:52Klay by the finish.
03:56James.
03:57Got a dozen.
03:59Dings at the basket.
04:01The throw down.
04:02He's got 14.
04:03Christie lost it.
04:04Klay on the other way.
04:05Here goes LeBron again.
04:09Time out, Dallas.
04:11This is just showing you guys I'm alive, I'm alert, and I got some pop in my step.
04:16He's got space here for three if he wants it.
04:18He makes it.
04:19James, eight of nine from the field.
04:21He has scored or assisted on the last 17 Laker points.
04:26LeBron on the floor for the moment.
04:28We have two more up.
04:29It's that one.
04:32Gennard, nice pass.
04:33Good stuff.
04:35For the finish.
04:36Great set right there by the Lakers coaching staff.
04:40Gennard inside.
04:41A lefty.
04:424-2.
04:46Slack.
04:49Nice field goal.
04:50He has 26 points.
04:52Take it away.
04:53Achimura.
04:54James running in the middle.
04:55LeBron on the way home.
04:57And one.
04:58And that's a skip finally.
05:00On the board from the field.
05:01That's his first field goal.
05:02It's a five-point game.
05:03Gennard leaves it.
05:04LeBron flies.
05:06And finishes.
05:08Down to a two-point game.
05:10Washington tries three.
05:12Got it.
05:13DJ Washington, 32% shooter.
05:17Eight inside.
05:19A couple of field goals now for DeAndre in this third quarter.
05:22And I talked to DeAndre before the game.
05:24I actually played with him in Phoenix my last year.
05:26And he said, I got LeBron in my knee and a point guard out there.
05:30Good shot.
05:33LeBron at the rim will touch pass right back.
05:37I'd be engaged with that, right?
05:39Why not?
05:42Eight.
05:44Having a quarter here.
05:45LeBron a lot of three.
05:49Good effort by LeRabia.
05:51LeBron tried to get the football.
05:52One-head.
05:53Instead, on the other end, it's a dunk.
05:55And it's a timeout.
05:56Max Christie comes back the other way for Dallas.
05:59Flag.
06:00Lobbed it.
06:01Almost finished up the rim.
06:02But it'll be more time.
06:03And that was assist number 10.
06:04But he's got a triple-double.
06:06Flag comes to the basket.
06:07And scores.
06:09And one.
06:10Four flag.
06:11Step back to LeRabia.
06:12Banks three.
06:14Six-point game.
06:15I'm going to have to go.
06:16Here's the matchup.
06:17Flag on LeBron.
06:18Now the switch.
06:19Flag goes.
06:20Gets.
06:21And one.
06:22Give him 34 points.
06:27Jackson Hayes.
06:28Off the window.
06:29Gets it back to a single-digit deficit.
06:32Klay Thompson in the game.
06:34Flag to the bench.
06:35Corner three.
06:36Knocked down by Polakidis.
06:40Klay threw it up.
06:42Hayes caught it.
06:43Ronnie James three.
06:48The cut.
06:49Jangerman.
06:49The finish.
06:51And James has assist number eight.
06:53Obanus.
06:54Klay.
06:54Oh God.
06:57Hey.
07:00Hard cut LeBron.
07:01Was cut off by Middleton.
07:02Somehow.
07:03And then one.
07:05With Hayes inside.
07:06The Warriors at home in San Francisco to take on the Rockets.
07:10Game two of our Sunday Night Basketball doubleheader next on NBC.
07:14As Brandon Williams.
07:16Took a little contact.
07:17Well, N1.
07:18Into the corner.
07:19Williams on the drive.
07:20All the way home.
07:225.1 time for the Lakers.
07:25The American Airlines Center with the Mavericks.
07:27And the Lakers beginning the fourth quarter.
07:29Flag on the drive.
07:30To the basket and one.
07:32Cooper Flag.
07:33Up to 38 points on the night.
07:37He's just trying to watch.
07:39Rui Hachimura.
07:40And hits his third three of the night.
07:42He's got 17.
07:44James secures the rebound.
07:45All the Luka jerseys that were here.
07:47Beautiful match right here.
07:48To the dunk.
07:49And Kidd pulls it right there with a timeout.
07:52Think about dirt.
07:53He doesn't get enough credit for that championship they won.
07:55That was one of the more difficult.
07:57He cleans up the mess and gets it done.
08:00K. Doctor, the goalie's part of the U.S.
08:02Winning gold medal Olympic team is in the house.
08:04The stars will be involved in the postseason.
08:06As the NHL comes up to there.
08:08Stanley Cup run.
08:10Hachimura.
08:11Guard back to James.
08:12Clock at 8.
08:13LeBron.
08:13To the back.
08:17Najee Marshall.
08:18Overhaze.
08:19No.
08:20Powell.
08:21Bobby Hachimura to get the rebound.
08:23Lead back in.
08:25By P.J. Washington.
08:27Tame.
08:28And one.
08:29Ooh.
08:33That's not sounding purging for either player to come back for the first round.
08:38But time will tell.
08:39Washington out of the corner.
08:41A big three.
08:41Set up by Flagg.
08:43And now you're going to see Flagg just get pick and rolls.
08:45He's just going to get the advantage he feels he can take.
08:48Let's go.
08:49And get to the basket.
08:50Or make a play.
08:52Good call to Maul.
08:53There's a 40-point game for Cooper Flagg.
08:56He's got 41.
08:57Timeout.
08:59Lakers.
09:00James hit ahead in the Ravia.
09:01Almost blocked by Flagg.

09:05A season-high 14th assist for James.
09:09He gets it two minutes.
09:10LeBron inside.
09:11Leaves it in.
09:12And a double flag.
09:13Step through Williams.
09:15One more in Huggy.
09:17Mercer.
09:18The line.
09:19The finish.
09:20Dagley.
09:21LeBron attacks Kennard.
09:23Got to get shots up here.
09:25He'll do it at the goal.
09:27Seven-point game.
09:28Lakers pick up full court.
09:30Hachimor denied.
09:31James will take a one-legged.
09:33It's Durkett free.
09:34And Hachimor tips it in.
09:3615.3 to go.
09:38Final seconds here.
09:39Jackson Hayes will take the stats.
09:41Jackson Hayes.
09:42Jackson Hayes.
