The Dallas Mavericks (26 - 21) defeated the Los Angeles Lakers (9 - 38) 92 - 90 at Staples Center on Tuesday. The Mavericks have owned the Lakers over the past three seasons and Tuesday marked the 10th straight loss for Los Angeles against the Dirk Nowitzki-led Mavs. With 1:36 left in regulation, Jordan Clarkson hit a floating jump shot to tie the game at 90, and it took another 1:34 before Dirk Nowitzki drained a vintage baseline jumper with :2 remaining to take a two point lead. On the ensuing possession, Julius Randle received an inbound pass at the top of the three - point line and his shot went off the side of the rim as time expired. The Lakers are now owners of a seven game losing streak. Nowitzki was far from efficient, but has not lost his clutch factor, proven by his fadeaway game winner. The Mavericks leader finished with 13 points and six rebounds on 5 - of - 14 shooting in 30 minutes. J.J. Barea led all Mavericks in scoring with 18 points off the bench, to go along with four rebounds and four assists. Chandler Parsons got off to a hot start, but cooled down in the second half, but scored 17 points and grabbed nine rebounds 35 minutes. The Lakers were without Kobe Bryant (shoulder), but competed with Dallas for the entirety of the game. Julius Randle is starting to show signs of improvement and has strung together five good games entering the contest (9 points and 10 rebounds), and added his 16th double - double of the season with 16 points and 11 rebounds. Jordan Clarkson rounded out the box score with 18 points, six rebounds and seven assists, while rookie D’Angelo Russell finished with 12 points and zero assists. The Lakers will look to end their seven game skid when they host the Chicago Bulls (25 - 19) on Thursday, while the Mavericks play the second game of a back - to - back when they visit the Golden State Warriors (41 - 4) on Wednesday.
