After Action Report
The Lakers blew the doors off the Mavericks 123-92. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Lakers sent shots into the fifth row all night. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
