The Lakers' 118-97 loss to the Mavs highlighted offensive failures, with a poor 31% shooting from three and missed layups contributing significantly to their defeat.
LeBron James noted, 'When we're not shooting the ball well from the perimeter, those [missed] layups can be discouraging...We just got to convert those.'
Max Christie remarked, 'I don't think our offense was the problem tonight...missed layups around the rim, missed open threes, they're not going to hurt us...we'll do a better job for sure.'
The defeat underscored a persistent struggle, as Lakers players acknowledged creating good looks but failing to execute on critical scoring opportunities.
