After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Mavericks took care of the Lakers 114-102. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Mavericks cashed in. The Lakers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Lakers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
