After Action Report

In a track meet, the Mavericks held off the Lakers 111-104. The Lakers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Mavericks. Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Mavericks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
