LOS ANGELES -- Forward Dirk Nowitzki's baseline jumper with 2.1 seconds remaining lifted the Dallas Mavericks to a 92-90 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night at Staples Center.

Guard J.J. Barea came off the bench to deliver 18 points, and forward Chandler Parsons scored 17 points and collected nine rebounds for the Mavericks (26-21). Nowitzki, who was hindered by foul trouble, added 13 points and six rebounds.

Dallas defeated the Lakers for the 10th consecutive time.

Guard Jordan Clarkson had 18 points, seven assists and six rebounds for the Lakers, who have lost seven in a row. Forward Julius Randle chipped in 16 points and 11 rebounds, and guard Lou Williams had 14 points.

Los Angeles (9-38) took a 78-77 lead heading into the final quarter. Lakers point guard D'Angelo Russell's free throw with 3:34 remaining in the contest tied the score at 88. Nowitzki's fadeaway gave the Mavericks a two-point advantage with 2:31 remaining.

After guard Deron Williams missed a layup that would have given Dallas a four-point cushion, Clarkson hit a floater to knot the score at 90 with 1:36 left.

Williams converted on a drive that would have given the Lakers a two-point lead with 13.5 seconds left, but the bucket was waved off after official Sean Wright called Williams for an offensive foul.

Both teams played without key performers. Lakers forward Kobe Bryant missed the game due to a sore right shoulder. Forward Anthony Brown started in his place, finishing with three points in 21 minutes.

The Mavericks were without center Zaza Pachulia (sore right leg) and guard Devin Harris (left toe sprain). Center Salah Mejri got his second career start in Pachulia's spot, scoring nine points and grabbing four rebounds.

The Lakers outscored the Mavericks 33-24 in the second quarter for 58-56 lead at the break. Los Angeles led despite getting outshot 51.3 percent to 45 percent. Dallas committed only one turnover to four for the Lakers in the first half.

Overall, the Mavericks shot 43.4 percent to 40.5 percent for the Lakers. Dallas had only six turnovers for the game to 14 for Los Angeles.

NOTES: Lakers F Kobe Bryant's sore shoulder will be re-evaluated Wednesday. His status for Thursday's game against the Chicago Bulls at Staples Center is unknown. Tuesday's contest was the ninth game missed this season by Bryant, who also was dealing with a sore right Achilles tendon. ... Dallas coach Rick Carlisle was disappointed with Bryant's absence, particularly since this was the last meeting this season. "(He's) one of the greatest competitors in the history of our game," Carlisle said. "I'd love to have a chance to compete against him one last time, but it's not in the cards." ... The Mavericks cap their three-game road swing at the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday.
