The Mavericks endured a minimum of stress in extending their franchise-record winning streak to 17 games.

Josh Howard scored 24 points, Dirk Nowitzki added 19, and the Mavericks took control early in embarrassing the Lakers 108-72 Sunday night to match the longest winning streak in the NBA this season.

The loss was the most one-sided setback at home for the Lakers since they moved to Los Angeles from Minneapolis in 1960.
