The Lakers defeated the Dallas Mavericks 129-119 for their sixth consecutive win and they improved to 4-0 in the NBA Cup to win West Group B. The Lakers will have home-court advantage when they take on the San Antonio Spurs on Dec. 10 in the quarterfinals.
Doncic picked up his fourth consecutive double-double with 35 points and 11 assists in the win. The league's leading scorer has scored at least 33 points in each of the last five games.
