After Action Report
The Lakers buried the Mavericks 107-87. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Lakers' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Mavericks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
