Without Jarred Vanderbilt, the Lakers' defensive game returned for the third quarter vs. the Mavs

Last season, the Los Angeles Lakers had nightmares in every third quarter, but this year things have been different, as the team has been able to give some of its best performances in the third quarters and make some epic comebacks.

After trailing by ten points at the end of the first half, the team has been able to turn things around as they are now leading by 2 points at the end of the third quarter with a score of 95-93.

Even when the Lakers have lost one of their best defensive players as Jarred Vanderbilt was out for tonight's game they were able to have an impressive third quarter led by Anthony Davis.

While the Lakers haven't brought the same energy that they did for the In-Season Tournament final game versus the Indiana Pacers where they become the champions of the new competition, they have been able to change things for the start of the fourth quarter.

The Lakers will be playing tomorrow night against the San Antonio Spurs

Tonight vs. Dallas is the first game of the back-to-back for LA and tomorrow night the team will be facing the San Antonio Spurs who haven't been doing great but have Victor Wembanyama the rookie sensation.
