The Dallas Mavericks, now post trade deadline and resting over the all-star break, are fully in a new era. Yes, parts of the Luka Doncic core remain. But the Anthony Davis deadline deal that sent the big man and the end of the bench to the Washington Wizards made clear that the front office is […]

LOS ANGELES — The Lakers defeating a Mavericks team that sits 16 games under .500 wouldn’t typically be a feat to cheer about. However, given that LA was playing without their starting center Deandre Ayton and their superstar Luka Dončić, the result was harder to achieve than the standings indicate.

The Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Dallas Mavericks 124-104 on Thursday at Crypto.com Arena behind a vintage effort from LeBron James. It was the Mavs’ final game before the All-Star break, and they didn’t exactly go out with a bang. The game in LA was lacking a certain amount of star power with both Cooper […]
