After Action Report

The Lakers snuck past the Mavericks 95-90. Ugly basketball, but the Lakers did just enough. The Mavericks came in with something to prove after a loss. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Lakers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
