Lakers Survive Halloween Scare to Defeat Mavericks

On Halloween night, the Lakers found a ton of early treats but had to weather a storm of late tricks.

The Lakers held a 13-point lead with just over three minutes remaining, yet Dallas charged back to tie the game in the final seven seconds. However, LeBron James split a pair of free throws to snag a 114-113 victory.
