After Action Report
The Lakers fended off the Mavericks 114-105. The tempo dragged the Mavericks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Lakers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it

- Lakers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Mavericks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
