Trailing 68-63 at the end of three, Los Angeles tied the game at 76-76 on a 3-point play by forward Jabari Brown with 6:19 left in the final period. Tied at 88-88 with under 10 seconds to play, Wayns missed a contested floating layup attempt from the baseline for Dallas. Tyler grabbed the rebound on the other side of the rim and dropped it in with 1.4 seconds. After a Lakers timeout, 27th overall pick Larry Nance Jr. inbounded the ball to Julius Randle from 30-feet out, but the former Kentucky Wildcat couldn’t get a 3-point shot off before time expired.
