LeBron James and Anthony Davis each posted a double-double yet the effort from both stars proved futile as the Los Angeles Lakers fell by 21 points to a Dallas Mavericks side playing without Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving.
The Lakers led by six points at a point in the second quarter, but the Mavs ended the quarter in a flurry and maintained that momentum in the start of the third quarter as the Lakers began to struggle to keep up.
