He was a minus player on the night and looked to have put it in cruise for that disastrous 4 minute stretch at the end of the third.
I mean yeah, you can say if you want that Reaves getting tossed was the issue (and yeah, it was obviously the turning point) but when James came back in for him after that ejection, he was...indifferent. At best.
Doncic had come off the floor and it was James, Knecht, Vando, DFS/Rui and Vincent.
And those guys absolutely shit the bed.
You can box score scout that game all you want, but James seemed ready for his rest and when he came back into the game he really didn't seem to feel like playing.
Did Reaves getting tossed necessitate that? Yeah - but you're making $50 million my guy - another 3-4 minutes isn't asking a ton.
