The score didn't get out of hand for the Mavericks until they emptied the bench and outscored the Lakers 37-8 in the final frame. When they checked out the primary rotation, they only led by about five after being down for most of the game. However, the Mavericks would go on to beat the Lakers 121-94.

The Mavericks announced Tuesday night that they agreed to a multiyear extension, but didn’t reveal the length or any other details of the deal for Kidd, who is going into his fifth season as their coach. His first multiyear extension came in the middle of the 2024 playoffs when they made the NBA Finals before losing to Boston.
