After Action Report
The Mavericks blew the doors off the Lakers 125-104. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Mavericks cashed in. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Mavericks; Mavericks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. It broke open after the break.
