Behind a monster performance from center Jeremy Tyler, the Dallas Mavericks opened elimination play at the Las Vegas Summer League with an 88-86 win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday.

Tyler dominated the paint to the tune of 25 points on 11-of-15 shooting and 11 rebounds. The Lakers had no answer for his low-post game and ability to gobble up his own team's misses.

He was joined in double-figures by Justin Anderson, Dwight Powell and Maalik Wayns. Anderson dropped 16 points and went 4-of-7 from three-point range.

The Lakers, meanwhile, were led by Jabari Brown, who scored 19 points on 6-of-11 shooting. He was joined in double-figures by Jordan Clarkson and Julius Randle, who each scored 17.

Randle had his best game of the summer, by a significant margin, scoring his 17 points on 6-of-11 shooting.

The Lakers' No. 2 pick from this year's draft, D'Angelo Russell, struggled again. He finished the game with just eight points on 3-of-11 shooting. He did manage to grab six rebounds and dish out five assists, though.

The Lakers will now play the Utah Jazz on Friday in a consolation bracket. The Mavericks will move on elimination play with a game against the D-League select team on Thursday.
