After Action Report

The Lakers edged the Mavericks 110-104. The Mavericks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Lakers are in a full-on tailspin; Lakers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Mavericks · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
