A little bit of everything as we get you up to speed with the sports world on this Monday.
Ravens Win 8th in a Row With Last-Second FG to Take Down 49ers in Marquee Matchup
Since losing two games back in September, the Baltimore Ravens have checked off all the boxes during their eight-game winning streak, proving they are one of the most formidable teams in the league.
On Sunday it was a marquee matchup with one of the top teams in the NFC, the San Francisco 49ers, and the Ravens were up to the test, beating them 20-17 on a last-second Justin Tucker 49-yard field goal.
EIGHT IN A ROW!
The early MVP favorite, Ravens QB Lamar Jackson, struggled with the passing game in poor weather conditions on Sunday, going 14-of-23 for only 105 yards, but he made up for it on the ground, rushing for 101 yards and accounting for two TDs (one passing, one rushing).
With the win and the New England Patriots’ loss to the Houston Texans on Sunday Night Football, the Ravens have now pulled even with the Patriots for the best record in the AFC at 10-2.
The two losses for the 49ers this season have come on last-second field goals (Sunday’s by the Ravens’ Tucker and an OT winner by the Seattle Seahawks’ Jason Myers).
Luka Doncic, Mavericks Put an End to Lakers’ 10-Game Win Streak
The #Mavericks just ended a 10-game Lakers win streak with today’s 114-100 win in Los Angeles.
The last time that the @dallasmavs ended a 10-game win streak was the 2010-11 season, when Dallas ended Miami’s 12-game win streak on 12/20/2010.
The Los Angeles Lakers’ longest winning streak in ten years came to an end on Sunday at the hands of one of the NBA’s brightest stars and hottest teams, Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks.
The Mavericks rallied from a halftime deficit with a 28-5 run in the third quarter, propelling them to a 114-100 win on the road.
We’ve seen a lot of big games this season from Luka, but it means a little more to play well against your idol.
Leading the way on Sunday for Dallas, as he has throughout his incredible start to this season, was Doncic who scored 21 of his 27 points in the second half. The 20-year-old second-year superstar also added 10 assists and nine rebounds in the Mavericks’ seventh win in their last eight games.
Luka over LeBron 💦
Mavs up big on the Lakers.
“It’s a great win that means a lot to us,” Doncic said. “It shows that we can play against big teams, too. We just need to keep it rolling.”
LeBron James put up 25 points, nine rebounds and eight assists in the Lakers’ first loss since Nov. 10 when they fell at home to the Toronto Raptors.
