After Action Report
In Dallas, the Lakers ran roughshod over the Mavericks 125-105. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- 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.
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
