Russell contributed 29 points, while James also played a pivotal role in the Lakers’ victory with 25 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists.
Returning after a three-game absence due to a sprained right ankle, Luka Doncic recorded a triple-double for the Mavericks, tallying 33 points, 13 rebounds, and 10 assists.
