After Action Report
In Dallas, the Lakers snuck past the Mavericks 104-103. Ugly basketball, but the Lakers did just enough. The Lakers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Mavericks utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.
