After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Lakers outlasted the Mavericks 93-78. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Lakers couldn't shake the cold spell; Lakers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
