After Action Report

The Mavericks buried the Lakers 130-91. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Mavericks cashed in. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Mavericks. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Mavericks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Lakers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
