The Dallas Mavericks broke a five-game losing streak on Tuesday night by picking up a 118-97 win over LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers. Dallas shot a blistering 18/38 from three-point range as they were able to take the Lakers off the dribble and open up shots all over the floor.

After another brutal loss, Lakers star LeBron James reflected on what went wrong for his team in their second straight defeat. During the post-game media chat, James explained why the Lakers couldn't get it going offensively and how that negatively impacted their efforts on the other end.

LeBron James was a late scratch Saturday due to illness. Anthony Davis did suit up for the Lakers' nightcap matchup against Sacramento.
