Cooper Flagg scored 45 points and the Dallas Mavericks ended their longest home losing streak in 32 years at 14 games with a 134-128 victory over the depleted Los Angeles Lakers. LeBron James had 30 points and 15 assists for the playoff-bound Lakers. They led for just 13 seconds in the opening minutes of their first game since injuries sidelined Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves for the rest of the regular season. Flagg had nine assists and eight rebounds while recording consecutive 40-point games for the first time. Two nights earlier the 19-year-old rookie No. 1 pick scored 51 to become the first NBA teenager with a 50-point outing.
