After Action Report
In Dallas, the Mavericks squeaked past the Lakers 95-91. Mavericks torched the Lakers on the offensive end. Mavericks' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; the Lakers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Mavericks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
