After Action Report

The Lakers took care of the Mavericks 118-105. Lakers' offense had its way with the Mavericks. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Lakers' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Mavericks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Mavericks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
