LeBron James became the oldest player in NBA history to record a triple-double and the Los Angeles Lakers went into the All-Star break with a 124-104 victory over the visiting Dallas Mavericks on Thursday.

James, 41, registered 28 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds for his first triple-double in 36 games this season. Rui Hachimura added 21 points, Austin Reaves scored 18 off the bench and Jaxson Hayes put up 16 for the Lakers, who were playing without All-Star Luka Doncic (hamstring) for the fourth consecutive game.

Deandre Ayton (knee) missed a second consecutive game for Los Angeles, which ended a two-game losing skid. The Lakers improved to 3-0 against the Mavericks this season.

Naji Marshall and Max Christie each scored 19 points for the Mavericks, who lost their ninth consecutive game. It is Dallas’ longest losing streak since a pair of double-digit losing streaks in the 1997-98 season. Dallas rookie star Cooper Flagg sat out the game and will miss the Rising Stars contest as part of the All-Star festivities on Friday.

Trail Blazers 135, Jazz 119

Jrue Holiday recorded a season-best 31 points to go with nine rebounds and seven assists while leading Portland past Utah in Salt Lake City.

Donovan Clingan produced 23 points, 18 rebounds and seven assists as the Trail Blazers won for the fourth time in five games.

Brice Sensabaugh made five 3-pointers and scored 28 points for the Jazz, who have dropped 13 of their past 17 games. Kyle Filipowski amassed 15 points, nine rebounds and a career-best six steals.

Bucks 110, Thunder 93

Ousmane Dieng scored a season-high 19 points and added 11 rebounds for his first career double-double, leading Milwaukee to a road win over Oklahoma City.

Dieng was playing for the first time as a visitor in Oklahoma City after being dealt by the Thunder at last week’s trade deadline. He ultimately was shuffled to the Bucks in a series of trades. AJ Green added 17 points for the Bucks, who had seven players score in double figures.

Playing without primary ballhandlers Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams, plus sixth man Ajay Mitchell, the Thunder struggled to generate consistent offense. Isaiah Joe led the Thunder with 17 points, while Chet Holmgren added 16 points and 13 rebounds.

Kye Rowles scored on a header in the 90th minute as D.C. United overcame its home-field jinx, rallying for a 3-2 win over injury-riddled Orlando City SC Saturday on a chilly night in Washington, D.C.

Jackson Hopkins and Louis Munteanu also scored for D.C. (3-4-3, 12 points), which snapped a six-game winless run in all competitions and won for just the second time in its last 15 MLS matches at home.

Sean Johnson added five saves as D.C. United won without their top scorer Tai Baribo, who was out with a thigh injury after scoring a hat trick in a 4-4 draw Wednesday at the New York Red Bulls.

After entering the week with an MLS-low four goals, D.C. put up seven in a four-day span.

The winning goal came off a corner kick to the opposite post by Keisuke Kurokawa. Jacob Murrell headed the ball to the middle of the box to a cutting Rowles, who scored for the first time in his two seasons as a starting defender for D.C.

Justin Ellis and Tyrese Spicer scored second-half goals to provide a 2-1 lead for Orlando City (2-7-1, 7 points), which is winless in five road games having been outscored 20-3.

Maxime Crepeau had five saves as the Lions were without three injured starters including dangerous threat Marco Pasalic, who missed his third straight MLS match, also with a thigh injury.

Hopkins scored the only goal of the first half when he took a pass from Kurokawa just outside the penalty arc, turned and fired a left-footed laser into the bottom right corner in the 10th minute.

In the 57th minute, the 18-year-old Ellis scored the first goal of his professional career, notching the equalizer on a right-footed shot from the middle of the box. Ellis’ goal came as he cleaned up a rebound from close range after Johnson stopped a header by Griffin Dorsey.

Ten minutes later, Spicer put Orlando in front when he ran down a long pass from Adrian Marin. Spicer’s shot from a tough angle deep on the left wing caromed off the inside of the top left post and into the net.

In the 84th minute, Munteanu tied it back up, 2-2, scoring his first-ever goal for D.C. when his right-footed shot from outside the box was deflected by a defender and bounced just inside the left post.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards injured his left knee and needed help to get to the locker room in the second quarter of Saturday night’s home playoff game against the Denver Nuggets.

Edwards leaped to try to block a shot and landed awkwardly on his left leg. He immediately dropped to the court and clutched his knee.

Moments later, team officials helped Edwards hobble off the court and toward the locker room. He put little weight on his left leg as he exited.

Edwards had five points and three rebounds in 18 minutes. The Timberwolves led the best-of-seven, first-round Western Conference series 2-1 going into Saturday’s Game 4.

A four-time All-Star, Edwards led the Timberwolves with 28.8 points per game during the regular season. He averaged 23 points per game in the first three contests of the postseason.

Edwards was the second Timberwolves player to leave Game 4. In the first quarter, guard Donte DiVincenzo left because of a non-contact injury on his right leg.
