In the matchup against Lakers Gaming, their defense held MavsGG to 46.3 percent from the field resulting in a MavsGG loss in game one. In game two, MavsGG came back strong with Dimez (Artreyo Boyd) and Sherm (Justin Sherman) putting up 28 and 26 points. Spartxn (Joshua McHatten) and PeteBeBallin’s (Peter Malin) contributions on defense helped the team get to game three. The final game was back and forth until the last minute. With under 40 seconds remaining, Dimez attempted a layup, but it was no good. As SAV (Sten Valge-Saar) leaked out on the fast break, Sherm swiped the ball away from him. Sleetys (Jahlil McClure) kicked it out to Sherm, and with two quick steps, he was able to seal the game for MavsGG, draining a three behind the arc.

In game three Dimez finished with 30 points and PeteBeBallin finished with 16 rebounds, ultimately putting the team on top to wrap up the series.
