After Action Report

In a track meet, the Mavericks snuck past the Lakers 107-102. The breakneck pace played right into Mavericks' hands. The Mavericks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Lakers steamroller is in full effect right now. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. The Mavericks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Survive-and-advance type win.
