DALLAS (AP) - LeBron James had 35 points and 16 rebounds, Kyle Kuzma scored a season-high 24 points starting in place of injured star Anthony Davis, and the Los Angeles Lakers went up big early in a 129-114 victory over the Dallas Mavericks. James was dominant from the start to help the Lakers build a 22-point lead in the first half.  Luka Doncic played the last few minutes of the first half in a ripped jersey on a frustrating night for the 20-year-old Dallas phenom. Doncic had 25 points and 10 rebounds but was a game-worst minus-24 before halftime.
