The Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Dallas Mavericks 129–119 on November 28 at Crypto.com Arena, with Austin Reaves leading all scorers with 38 points in a dominant performance. Despite Luka Dončić matching him with 35 points for Dallas, the Lakers' superior efficiency proved decisive: Los Angeles shot 59.2 percent from the field and made 18 three-pointers, while Dallas managed only 48.4 percent shooting and 14 threes. The Mavericks' second quarter was their strongest, outscoring the Lakers 40–32, but Los Angeles answered with a decisive third-quarter surge of 38 points to take control. The Lakers' 27 assists and 34 rebounds demonstrated balanced ball movement, though 14 turnovers prevented a more comfortable margin. Dallas' P. Washington (22 points) and R. Nembhard (17) couldn't generate enough secondary scoring to compensate for Dončić's isolation-heavy approach. The game fell short of the Vegas total of 232.5, with both teams combining for 248 points. The victory positions Los Angeles higher in the Western Conference standings while exposing Dallas' depth concerns without additional offensive contributors.
