After Action Report
The Lakers handled the Mavericks 118-107. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. The Lakers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Mavericks bent the defense out of shape from deep.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
