Doncic, who won the individual duel to star forward LeBron James, returned to be the perfect leader and winner of the Mavericks during the 33 minutes he was on the field.

The former Real Madrid player scored 10 of 23 field shots, including 4 of 10 triples, and hit 3-3 from the personnel line, in addition to recovering three balls and losing another seven, his only weak point in the game.

Alongside Doncic, who stayed at the gates of his eighth triple-double of the season, four other Mavericks players had double-digit numbers.

Among them reserve base Delon Wright, who emerged as the winning surprise factor by getting 17 points, including three triples of six attempts, which allowed the Mavericks to conclude the game with 17 of 49 for a 35 percent hit.

The pivot wings, the Latvian Kristaps Porzingis and the Canadian Dwight Powell, along with reserve forward Justin Jackson also contributed 15 points each.

The Mavericks with 51 rebounds were imposed in the inside game by leaving the Lakers with 45 balls captured under the hoops, while the Angelian team was also not inspired by shots from outside the perimeter by failing 20 of 27 attempts.

The victory allows the Mavericks to score 13-6 and tie in the leadership of the Southwest Division with the Houston Rockets , who had a rest day.

Pivot Anthony Davis contributed a double-double of 27 points, 10 rebounds, two assists and two blocks that left him as leader of the Lakers attack (17-3), who saw his best winning streak since 2009 broken, but still leading leaders in the Pacific Division and the Western Conference.

Together with Davis, James scored 25 points, nine rebounds, eight assists, recovered four balls and lost six, which cost him to be overcome by Doncic in the individual duel between the two players fighting for the Most Valuable Player (MVP) award When the season ends.

Reserve base Alex Caruso, who contributed 10 points, was the third Lakers player who finished the game with double-digit numbers, which also did not prevent the defeat of the Angelian team, the second one suffering this season in his Staples Center field.

After having dominated the Lakers in the first part, the second was a recital of Doncic and the Mavericks that made it possible to leave the Angelino team with just the first defeat in the last 18 games he had played.

The Mavs overcame a three-point disadvantage (62-59) at the end of the first half with a 28-5 run at the start of the third period by completely destroying the solid Lakers defense that found no response to Doncic penetrations and the shots from outside the perimeter.

The decisive run was led once again by a majestic fourth period of Doncic, who had 16 points and five assists after in the first half he had scored just two baskets of nine attempts.

The Lakers had won six straight games for the Mavericks, but neither team looks much like their squads in the last few seasons. After a year of impressive movements from both franchises, the Mavericks and the Lakers have placed themselves in the NBA's best team group.

Exactly one month after the Lakers won a victory in overtime in Dallas, the Mavs responded with an impressive effort at the Staples Center, in the presence of the legendary German player Dirk Nowitzki, who accompanied the team, and the Angels fans paid tribute A great ovation.

Despite the defeat, the Lakers had completed one of the best months in their history with a 14-1 mark last November, thanks to the good chemistry of Davis, his great summer signing, and James with the new coach Frank Vogel that has greatly improved the defense of the Angelian team.

Now the new litmus test for the Lakers will be the toughest calendar in December with duels against the Denver Nuggets, Utah Jazz and Portland Trail Blazers.
