After Action Report
The Mavericks snuck past the Lakers 102-99. Mavericks' offense had its way with the Lakers. Mavericks' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Tonight's Lakers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
