After Action Report
The Mavericks snuck past the Lakers 116-115. The Mavericks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Shots just aren't falling for the Mavericks lately; the Mavericks bent the defense out of shape from deep. Early returns: the Mavericks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
