After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Mavericks upended the Lakers 120-96. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Mavericks cashed in. The Mavericks pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Lakers looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
