After Action Report
In Dallas, the Mavericks held off the Lakers 95-88. The Lakers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Mavericks. The Mavericks are in a full-on tailspin; Mavericks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
