The Los Angeles Lakers and Dallas Mavericks met on Wednesday night, and the Lakers came away victorious. While that was part of the story, it was nowhere near worth the main headline. The biggest news was the return of Luka Doncic to Dallas, a place he started and remained all his career until the trade in February.

Luka Dončić dropped 45 points, eight rebounds and six assists as he guided the Lakers to a 112-97 win over the Mavericks in his first game back in Dallas since the blockbuster trade that shocked NBA fans earlier this year.
