The Los Angeles Lakers had no solution for the Dallas Mavericks in the fourth quarter on Wednesday, suffering another preseason defeat, 121-94, at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
The Mavericks advanced to 3-1, while the Lakers dropped to 1-4.
Every matchup between these two sides carries added intrigue following last season’s blockbuster trade, which moved Luka Doncic to Los Angeles and Anthony Davis to Dallas.
Doncic and Davis have both expressed their discontent about the massive deal when it first occurred, each revealing they didn’t wish to be traded. However, it’s evident they’ve moved forward and hold no resentment toward one another.
The pair even shared a heartwarming exchange after Wednesday’s matchup, as captured in a video shared by the NBA.
“All love between Luka & AD,” the caption read.
Any expert lip readers out there? We’d love to know what sparked their laughter.
Doncic didn’t play in the game, while Davis paced the Mavericks with 18 points, nine rebounds, two assists, and one block across 32 minutes.
Supporters only had praise for the warm interaction between the two All-Stars, who will always be connected by their major trade.
