After Action Report
The Lakers buried the Mavericks 121-83. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. The Lakers ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Lakers' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
