DALLAS -- The Los Angeles Lakers' growing momentum came to a screeching halt Tuesday with a 118-97 loss to an undermanned Dallas Mavericks team, dropping L.A. to 0-2 on its Texas two-step road trip that started with a defeat in Houston.
"I mean, it sucks, obviously, especially knowing where we were and how well we've been playing," LeBron James said after the Lakers dropped to No. 6 in the Western Conference standings.
They started the trip No. 4 in the West, having won eight out of 11 games while upgrading the roster, acquiring Dorian Finney-Smith and Shake Milton for D'Angelo Russell, Maxwell Lewis and three second-round picks.
