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. Luckily, the Lakers have LeBron James. […]
LeBron James and the Lakers haven’t always been a match made in heaven. A generation of Kobe Bryant fans who viewed LeBron as the rival were now watching him suit up in purple and gold and forced to reckon with it. Things haven’t been seamless for his time in Los Angeles, but it hasn’t stopped […]
At the intersection of futility and ethical tanking, there you’ll find the 2025-26 Dallas Mavericks (19-35).

The Lakers (32-21) will take on the Mavericks (19-34) in their last game before the All-Star break.

Start time and TV […]
