Three other Mavs recorded double figures in points -- Al Farouq Aminu (13 points and 5 rebounds), Dirk Nowitzki (12) and Chandler Parsons (11 and 6 rebounds).

Carlos Boozer topped the Lakers with 17 points and 8 rebounds off the bench while Wesley Johnson and Jordan Clarkson each had 15 with Clarkson adding 6 rebounds and 5 assists.
