The Los Angeles Lakers suffered their second consecutive loss of the 2024-25 NBA season on Tuesday night, falling to the Dallas Mavericks. After the game, LeBron James provided a candid assessment of the team’s performance.

Quinten Grimes had 26 points, nine rebounds and six assists as the Dallas Mavericks snapped a five-game skid with a 118-97 win over the Los Angeles Lakers.
