The Lakers lost to the Mavs and coach Ham says the team learned a lesson

The Los Angeles Lakers were close to taking the win against the Dallas Mavericks tonight as they made a comeback after being trailing for 20 points, in the last minute, LeBron and the team took the lead, but it didn't last for long.

Kyrie Irving scored a 3-pointer that once again gave the lead to his team, but a LeBron James turnover and a missed 3 did them in the final 20 seconds. The Lakers lost to Dallas, 104-101 in what was almost a heroic comeback for the team in the second leg of a 2 back-to-back.

In the post-game presser, coach Darvin Ham said this game is a "lesson" for the Lakers, crediting them for coming back in the fourth but saying they can't get behind the 8-ball the way they did in the first three quarters.

There were some mistakes that Ham should learn from, and the team is set to continue their path to turn things around, despite the loss, the group continues to have a winning record.

Darvin drew up a play for the only spot on the floor that LeBron has been horrible all season, the Lakers superstar failed to hit the 3-pointer, and the team was left empty-handed.

Coach Ham should use Jaxson Hayes more

The real question that the Lakers fans asking is: “Why do we not utilize Jaxson Hayes more?  He comes into the game with instant energy on the boards & plays defense. Ham legit doesn’t even give him a chance & we were getting beat on the boards all game.”
