After Action Report

The Lakers rolled past the Mavericks 121-96. The Mavericks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Lakers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Lakers' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Mavericks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Mavericks utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It was over by halftime.

  • Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
