LeBron James returned to action on Thursday after missing one game to face the Dallas Mavericks, who were without rookie sensation Cooper Flagg. For the Los Angeles Lakers, they remained without Luka Doncic.
Still, you’d think the Lakers, with LeBron, would have an easy go. After the first half of play, the Lakers found themselves leading by just one, 64-63. This was thanks to a 12-0 run by Dallas at the end of the second quarter.
