After Action Report
The Lakers squeaked past the Mavericks 112-110. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Lakers; the Lakers ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Mavericks utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it

- Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Lakers · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
