After Action Report
The Mavericks buried the Lakers 118-93. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Mavericks cashed in. Mavericks' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the Lakers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Lakers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
