The Dallas Mavericks suffered a lopsided 144-101 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers after trading superstar Luka Dončić to the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday.

The Cavs became the first team to face the Dallas Mavericks after the Mavs traded Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers. Here's how the game unfolded.

Moments after the trade deal was announced, several angry fans made their way over to the American Airlines Center to honor the point guard.

ESPN’s Tim MacMahon and Shams Charania report the Mavericks approached the Lakers about the deal, which was reportedly due to Dallas’ hesitancy about giving Doncic a supermax contract. The Mavs, according to ESPN, were frustrated by Doncic’s conditioning and ability to stay healthy.

The Dallas Mavericks stunned the NBA world late Saturday night with their trade of franchise player Luka Doncic to the LA Lakers.

Luka Doncic became a Los Angeles Laker overnight in the most shocking trade in recent memory. There was virtually no buzz that Doncic was remotely available. The Dallas Mavericks' decision makers had made up their minds, though. They were out of the Luka Doncic business.

In the most shocking trade in Mavericks and perhaps NBA history, Dallas is sending 25-year-old superstar Luka Doncic to the Lakers in a blockbuster that brings perennial All-Star Anthony Davis to the Mavericks. The news broke late Saturday night, sending shockwaves through the NBA, but with two epicenters: Dallas and Los Angeles.
