After Action Report
The Mavericks ran roughshod over the Lakers 93-67. Mavericks' offense had its way with the Lakers. Mavericks' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; Lakers' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Lakers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
