MVP: The voters have grown tired of naming either Jordan Clarkson or Jeremy Lin MVP, so they decided to give the award to Carlos Boozer tonight. His 17-point, 8-rebound performance included some key rebounds to get the Lakers’ extra possessions and also a nice little move on Dirk Nowitzki late in the game. The voters named Monta Ellis second in voting.
LVP: Sorry Ryan Kelly, but when something like this happens, you pretty much clinch LVP.

Stat of the Night: 26. As in the second-half points from Monta Ellis, who single-handedly kept the Mavericks in the game for most of the third quarter before they were able to pull away late in the fourth. The Lakers did a poor job of containing (or even pretending to) Ellis as he torched the Lakers back court.
