Lakers Handed 1st Home Loss vs. Mavs

*Stats from Yahoo! Sports and NBA.com*

Lakers didn't win and so didn't America last night. Jordan Clarkson was the Lakers' top performer, scoring 22 points off the bench and adding 3 steals, but the Lakers could not take advantage of a Dirk Nowitzki-less Dallas team as Harrison Barnes' 31 points performance helped the Mavs beat the Lakers 109-97, ending the Lakers' early undefeated home streak. Lou Williams followed Clarkson in terms of scorers off the bench with 15 points. Nick Young continued to stay hot with 20 points on 7-12 shooting and Julius Randle added yet another double-double to his resume with 15 points and 10 rebounds. D'Angelo Russell racked up 12 points and 7 assists to round out the starters.

Final Score: vs. Dallas 109-97 [L]

Next Game: @ Sacramento (11/10)

I know the Lakers-Kings game will be nationally televised tomorrow on TNT. However, I'm still taking some classes to finish up college and unfortunately, I have a Thursday night class all semester long that eats up the majority of the time of this game. So no open threads or full recaps for Thursday game, but I'll put up a quick recap/fact check post.
