The Los Angeles Lakers will play the Dallas Mavericks on their regular home court Friday night after deeming the special NBA Cup floor unplayable due to slipperiness. The decision follows complaints from players after Tuesday's 135-118 win over the Los Angeles Clippers. Technicians from the league's court vendor confirmed the surface needs repairs and will be ready in two weeks.
