After Action Report

The Mavericks rolled past the Lakers 114-93. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Mavericks' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Mavericks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Never a doubt in this one.
