The Los Angeles Lakers would be without Kobe Bryant for the third straight game as they took on the Dallas Mavericks and newly acquired point guard Rajon Rondo. The Mavericks have the top offense in the NBA and it showed when they scored 140 points in the first meeting between these teams. Check out the highlights:

Second Quarter
A nice pocket pass from Swaggy P got Boozer an and-1 layup, and you know Boozer yelled out the "and-1!" (Missed FT though – LAL down 5).

Nick Young with an assist, steal & 3-pointer. That was a nice offense-defense-offense sequence from #swaggyP. Tie ball game. #LakersVsMavs

Third Quarter
Loved the Lakers aggressiveness on the boards on that possession. Ultimately, resulted in a Jordan Hill bucket.
