After Action Report
The Lakers ran roughshod over the Mavericks 99-70. The Mavericks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Lakers. Lakers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the Mavericks pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
