After Action Report
The Mavericks handled the Lakers 114-97. The better team simply showed up tonight. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Mavericks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
