After Action Report
The Mavericks took care of the Lakers 113-101. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Mavericks cashed in. Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Mavericks.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Mavericks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Mavericks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
