Luka lets loose for Mavs as Lakers suffer Vegas hangover

DALLAS — Luka Doncic is piling up the minutes with All-Star sidekick Kyrie Irving sidelined by a bruised foot.

When his back cooperates, Tim Hardaway Jr feels the responsibility to pile up the points when Irving isn't out there.

Doncic had 33 points and 17 assists, Hardaway scored a season-high 32 points and the Dallas Mavericks beat Los Angeles 127-125 on Tuesday night in the Lakers' first game since winning the inaugural In-Season Tournament in Las Vegas.
