One night after the Dallas Mavericks failed to overcome the depth of a short-handed team, they flexed their own roster depth in front of a packed home crowd. The expectations were high for an early January matchup between the Dallas Mavericks and Los Angeles Lakers entering the season.

Quinten Grimes had 26 points, nine rebounds and six assists as the Dallas Mavericks snapped a five-game skid with a 118-97 win over the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Lakers lose to the very shorthanded Dallas Mavericks, who were missing a few key players because of injury.
