After Action Report

The Mavericks ran roughshod over the Lakers 116-89. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Mavericks cashed in. The Mavericks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Mavericks bent the defense out of shape from deep. It broke open after the break.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • 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.
