Flagg's 30-year first against injury-hit Lakers

Cooper Flagg continued his historic rookie run to end a long Dallas home drought against LeBron James's depleted Los Angeles Lakers.

James had 30 points and 15 assists for the playoff-bound Lakers, who led for just 13 seconds in the opening minutes of their first game since injuries sidelined Luka Doncic (hamstring) and Austin Reaves (oblique) for the rest of the regular season.
