In a track meet, the Mavericks demolished the Lakers 148-115. The tempo dragged the Lakers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Mavericks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Mavericks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
