Recap: Lakers Suffer Inexcusable Loss To Shorthanded Mavericks

The Los Angeles Lakers were back in action on Tuesday night, finishing up their two-game Texas road trip against the Dallas Mavericks.

The Mavericks were missing their two stars in Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving, giving the Lakers a prime opportunity to pick up a win. That’s not how things played out though as the Lakers had an extremely poor effort, suffering a 118-97 loss in Dallas.

Austin Reaves started the game off with a triple but the Mavericks then responded with seven straight points with Spencer Dinwiddie leading the way against his former team.

LeBron James had the crowd on its feet early with a ridiculous dunk, switching to his left hand while in the air.
